A second chance with difficult stakes

After learning that her classmate Archer has died by suicide, Hadley is offered a chance to return 27 days and try to prevent his death. The time-limited mission brings the story’s paranormal premise into contact with questions of responsibility, connection, and the limits of what one person can change. As Hadley works to get to know Archer, dangerous accidents complicate her efforts. The novel combines a second-chance scenario with young-adult themes of suicide, family issues, redemption, and first love, keeping its central focus on the choices Hadley faces and the risks attached to them.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in paranormal young-adult fiction.
  • Readers seeking fiction that addresses suicide and family issues.
  • Readers interested in stories about second chances, first love, and changing the future.

Book overview

"If you knew you had to do the right thing, but that something bad may happen to you because of it, would you do it anyway?" This hard-hitting, emotional, YA story of pain and love; right and wrong; and life and death is a masterful mix of suspense, romance, the paranormal, and the though-provoking questions we all ask surrounding the difficult subject of suicide.

Hadley Jamison is shocked when she hears that her classmate, Archer Morales, has committed suicide. She didn't know the quiet, reserved guy very well, but that doesn't stop her from feeling there was something she could have done to help him.

Hoping to find some sense of closure, Hadley attends Archer's funeral. There, she is approached by a man who calls himself Death and offers her a deal. If Hadley accepts, she will be sent back twenty-seven days in time to prevent Archer from killing himself. But when Hadley agrees to Death's terms and goes back to right the past, she quickly learns her mission is harder than she ever could have known.

Time ticks away as Hadley looks for ways to not only talk to Archer but to know him on a deeper level. But just as she and Archer connect, a series of dangerous accidents starts pushing them apart. Hadley must decide whether she is ready to risk everything--including her life--to keep Archer alive.
