Ruby has had a difficult year to say the least. Just before she started Sixth Form, her father died from a heart attack. In the months that followed Ruby became so depressed that she attempted suicide. She missed a lot of school, but now she's about to go back and she's worried. Is she well enough to get through her final year? Will the depression return? Should she apply to university?
The night before term begins, Ruby finds something that makes the prospect even more daunting: an envelope addressed to her in her father's handwriting. Inside is a list: 'Ten Things I Hope You Do Before You Leave School'. It makes no sense. She can't understand why he'd want her to do these things, let alone whether she'll be able to do them.
As Ruby navigates her way through UCAS, parties, boyfriends and A-Levels, she decides to give the list her best shot, but her efforts lead her into strange situations and to surprising discoveries. Will Ruby survive her last year at school? Can she do the ten things on The List? Will doing them make any difference?
