by Melissa Kantor
A person's whole life, she's lucky to have one or two real friends. Friends who are like family... for Zoe that someone is Olivia. So when Olivia is diagnosed with leukemia Zoe is determined to put on a brave face and be positive for her best friend.
Even when she isn't sure what to say.
Even when Olivia misses months of school.
Even when Zoe starts falling for Calvin, Olivia's crush.
The one thing that keeps Zoe moving forward is knowing that Olivia will beat this, and everything will go back to the way it was before. It has to. Because the alternative is too terrifying for her to even imagine.

"A beautiful, heartbreaking story about friendship, loss, and what it means to truly live. I loved it." - Lauren Barnholdt, author of The Thing About the Truth and Two-Way Street
"Zoe and Olivia's deep, real friendship and all its complications ring so true that you will want to hug your best friend close. I adored this book." - Jenn Echols, author of Forget You and Going too Far
