Theo Solace's life has always been average. No social life, a complicated family, and a very sheltered upbringing. But everything changed when she met the anything-but-average Colten Everhart. Ten is daring, reckless, selfish-and planning his own demise, but not before he lives out four things he has on his list before leaving the world behind. Theo and Ten fall in love fast and hard. It's a once-in-a-lifetime love that not everyone finds, making it that much harder for Theo to grieve his inevitable loss, look back at their time with one another, and put the pieces together of what happened leading up to his death.
