From the #1 bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz comes a heartbreaking contemporary novel full of the author's characteristic empathy and understanding of the human condition: a dying teenager with a final wish, a lonely young man on a journey towards connection, and the unexpected friendship they find together, this is an irresistible and unforgettable read for fans of Jojo Moyes, Jodi Picoult, and John Green.
Jesse is fifteen. She loves her friends, her little brother and her parents, even when they're arguing, which feels constant these days. But most of all, she loves playing video games. Even from her hospital bed.
Alex is twenty-nine. He doesn't love a lot of things and isn't really sure he knows how to. A virtual reality games designer, his work desk is empty except for his computer, much like his life sometimes feels.
Then Jesse makes a wish. A simple one: a video experience made of her life, something to be there, just in case she isn't.
One loving teenager.
One lonely adult.
Which one will get the happy ending?
