The life of 19-year-old Winona Banks turns into a kaleidoscopic whirlwind of mismatched colors and shapes once she finds out that her time in this world may be coming to an end in just five months.
Discouraged and on the verge of giving up, Winona's doctor comes up with a plan to have her attend group support sessions for grieving young adults to show her the repercussions of letting her sickness win and what her siblings would have to go through afterwards. Relenting to her doctor's wishes, Winona attends her first session where she meets Lachlan, a 20-year-old grade A smartass, who is fighting off his own inner demons from a recent loss that he wholly blames himself for.
With the help of her family and relationship with the new guy in her life, Winona realizes that although her future may be written out for her, she'll try her damn best to re-write fate itself.

As Reyna navigates the deepening connections with Noah and Ethan, her love life becomes a maze of passion, loyalty, and doubt.

His Sunshine | ✓
She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.
