MY HEART IS A TICKING TIME BOMB. Allison Reid has a heart condition that may or may not take her life one day. To improve Allison’s chances of survival her parents have done everything in their power so that she doesn't have a normal high school experience. They made sure of it by telling everyone in town about her condition, making her an automatic outcast.  

Cole Hartford is the rumored-to-be dangerous transfer student who, surprisingly, is the first person in Allison’s life to not treat her like an invalid. Through a series of events that bring these unlikely two together, Allison now has another reason to worry about her ticking time bomb of a heart. And this time there may be no remedy to prevent it from stopping.
