With intensely emotional and honest prose, Jacobus (Romancing the Dark in the City of Light) conveys Del's inner turmoil and longing for relief from the constant pain and fear of death she believes haunt her life. . . . supportive health coordinators and mentors help Del confront her fears and find a new appreciation for life in this hopeful read."--Publishers Weekly, "Achingly beautiful, emotionally complex and thought-provoking. A deeply felt and ultimately hopeful novel." --Catherine Linka, author of A Girl Called Fearless, "[T]his book takes readers on a bittersweet, hard-hitting journey with Del as she tackles more than an 18-year-old should. Jacobus expertly covers numerous tough subjects."-School Library Journal, "Del faces hard choices every day. Passionate, thoughtful, painfully impulsive, she's easy to root for--even when she makes mistakes. Skillfully rendered, this novel raises difficult questions about life and death. Instead of finding simple answers on the page, readers receive something better: honesty, hope and reassurance."--Sarah Tomp, author of The Easy Part of Impossible and My Best Everything, "Skillfully rendered, this novel raises difficult questions about life and death. Instead of finding simple answers on the page, readers receive something better: honesty, hope and reassurance."--Sarah Tomp, author of The Easy Part of Impossible and My Best Everything, "An 18-year-old cares for her terminally ill aunt while she manages her own sobriety and depression. Del lives with her endearing Aunt Fran in San Francisco. Her deceased mom was bipolar, and her dad, emotionally removed from his family, works in London. Del plans on college in September, but as of June 2015, she's working at her aunt's art gallery, volunteering for a suicide prevention hotline, and creating collages. In a brutally honest, first-person narrative, Del describes her ongoing battle with depression, her past substance abuse, and her suicide attempt at boarding school. Now she attends Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and takes her meds. She also wants a relationship with childhood friend Nick. But this summer will test her ability to cope with her difficult life: Nick's retinitis pigmentosa is worse, he doesn't immediately reciprocate her romantic feelings, and Aunt Fran, in remission from breast cancer, is diagnosed with terminal colon cancer. Del becomes her caregiver, but when Fran brings up assisted suicide, Del must examine her own feelings about it. The difficult subject matter is expressed in forthright language; teens interested in mental and physical health will closely follow Del's interactions with her family, AA, Nick, the crisis line callers, and Fran's hospice coordinator, who helps Del understand the place of death within human existence. San Francisco forms a strong backdrop to this thought-provoking novel. Main characters read White. Honestly and courageously explores sensitive topics."--Kirkus Reviews

Synopsis
Eighteen-year-old Del is in a healthier place than she was a year and a half ago: She's sober, getting treatment for her depression and anxiety, and volunteering at a suicide-prevention hotline. Her own suicide attempt is in the past, and living in San Francisco with her beloved aunt has helped her see a future for herself. But when Aunt Fran is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Del's equilibrium is shattered. She's dedicated herself to saving every life she can, but she can't save Fran. All she can do is help care for her aunt and try to prepare herself for the inevitable--while also dealing with a crush, her looming first semester at college, and her shifts at the crisis line. After Aunt Fran asks for her help with a mind-boggling final request, Del must confront her own demons and rethink everything she thought she knew about life and death.
