That is, until her best friend, Taylor, announces that she's thinking of killing herself on her sixteenth birthday. Then, in the midst of it all, Ryder steps into the picture, a witty summergoer who's anything but the Haven norm. These two plot twists promise to shake up her world ... for better and for worse. In one impossible summer, Hayley might just learn a thing or two about life, love and everything in between. Formerly Fifty-One Days to Live ♥
