The Guide to Pretty Much Everything | Jegulus

"Ready to go?" James asked, hoping to brush over the potentially awkward moment.

Regulus was now gaping at him, disbelief coating every inch of available skin. "Potter, I'm not going with you."

James gave him a put-upon frown. "Of course, you are."

After losing Sirius, James went through the motions of life without truly living. When he's terminally diagnosed, courtesy of the same crash that killed his best friend, it feels like penance for wasting the last two years wallowing in his grief. With limited time left, he makes a promise to himself that he won't waste his last days the same way he'd done in the past.

When he hears from Regulus Black, Sirius's kid brother-whom James hadn't seen since the accident-his past crashes into the present. And when Regulus shows him a bucket list that James and Sirius had written as kids, James knows the perfect way to spend his last thirty days.

With a reluctant Regulus Black in his passenger seat, James and Sirius's guide to the perfect summer becomes a last-ditch effort to rekindle his flame with his late best friend, before he meets him again in the afterlife. Somewhere between crappy motels and packs of Twizzlers, the boys find healing in a place they never expected-each other.
