Isabelle Bliss was found at her house holding her dead father's hand. She was holding a sledgehammer and had no clear recollection of what she'd done. She's just a high school student for God's sake. Sure, her family is a little...weird, but it's always been that way. Nothing should have changed. However, halfway into Isabelle's freshman year, everything changes. Ivan was the one hired to prove this was cold-blooded murder. He resides in a small apartment with a son who hates him and a wife that left him. So how does his son know who Isabelle is, and knows her story? There's no way he could have been a part of it, but the only way to get into Isabelle's head is to listen to her story through her eyes. Is she a murderer, or a victim caught in the middle of a web of lies?

"I'm sorry Jo. The cancer has spread. You're not going to make it past seventeen." That was the news that Jo Kelly had been waiting to hear since she turned twelve. But still, that didn't stop her from crying. She didn't want to die, who would? There's too many things that need to be done. So many things that need to be said. So many things that the seventeen year old needs. She hadn't even a friend to her name because she was always the 'outcast' and the 'girl with no hair'. That was, until, a certain cheery faced girl popped her head around her hospital door with two books and a plan. A plan on how to cheat and not let death think that she hadn't lived yet. She had to be strong and open. And it involved Jo. Abi tells Jo she has two choices in life, and that she has to pick. She can choose to sit at home in bed, crying and asking god why her until she dies, or she can do so many things she would have wanted to do, but fit them into the 50 days she has left. But the thing is, Abi only has half of them days to do what she wants. Will they live to the fullest or die a 'could have'? So, let the Bucket List begin! ~ Chloe Lumb <3

"Why didn't you tell me he went here?" Sabrina managed to croak out. Her throat was dry and there was a loud drumming sound in her ears which she realized was her heart. "Oh..uh...well..." Leila stuttered and then trailed off. She smiled sheepishly. "I totally forgot about Khalid." Sabrina winced when she heard his name. "How could you?" Sabrina asked, horrified. "You know I don't like him and, not to mention, that he hates my guts!" "Oh, come on! That was years ago. He probably doesn't even remember you." Leila assured, waving her hand. At that moment, Khalid Fayad turned towards them, his eyes landing on Sabrina's. Sabrina held her breath hoping - praying - that he would turn away without recognizing her. Unfortunately, he seemed to remember her all too well. From the way he smirked at her now, Sabrina just knew that her senior year at New Hope High was ruined. _______________________________________________________ A story of racism and hate, of love and acceptance. Can Sabrina overcome the hate that she is wrongly accused of. Can she forgive those who have tortured her life with bitter words and unending cruelty. Can she fight back with not hate, but good?
