Tessa is a young adolescent girl with just months to live. Her journey is told in a superbly written book that is both tragic and uplifting.

Tessa's remaining months are limited. In an effort to combat hospital stays, never-ending testing, and painful side effects from medications, Tessa makes a list. Her "To Do Before I Die" list is it. Sex comes in first. Released from the confines of "normal" living, Tessa seeks out novel experiences to savor life as her deteriorating physical state tries to keep up. In the last few weeks before Tessa's time runs out, all that she feels, her relationships with her father and brother, her estranged mother, her closest friend, and her new lover, cruelly crystallize.
