The Standard Deviation of You (Complete)

Everest, a patient with cancer, holds onto the conviction that life is devoid of meaning. Until the day came when he met Florian Eisenhower.

Florian became his ray of resiliency, and he became his happy confidant. Florian wore down Everest's resistance to the writing of a book based on their reminiscences. And to assemble a hundred dreams, each promise of future experience yet to come. But before Everest could ever embrace the notion of love and the value of living, his time begins to run low.

The inevitable occurs: Florian utters a final wish, a wish that could change the fabric of time itself. As Florian confronts the harsh reality of his lover's impending death, he is left with an impossible decision. Will he allow time to warp and take him back to days gone by, in hopes of rescuing Everest from the destiny they both dread? Or will he embrace the agonizing reality and look toward the future without the man who caused him to hold onto something other than pain and suffering?
