Jesse is 15. She loves her life, friends, her little brother and her parents - even when they're arguing, which is constantly these days. Due to her illness, she has become a master of video games, a passion that unites her and her friends in the hospital ward.
Alex is 29. A loner, the only significant being in his life is his dog Max. His desk at work, where he designs VR games, is empty, much like his life feels most of the time.
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?
From the bestselling author of THE TATTOOIST OF AUSCHWITZ comes a heartbreaking contemporary novel of a dying teenager's final wish, a lonely young man's journey towards connection, and the unexpected friendship they find together.
