Runner-up YA in the inaugural Diverse Book Awards 2020, Chaos by Yasmin Rahman is a powerful and poignant novel that explores the depths of anxiety and depression, and the lengths one will go to escape them. 16-year-old Mehreen Miah has had enough of her Chaos and joins MementoMori, a website that matches people with partners and allocates them a date and method of death. Mehreen is paired with Cara Saunders and Olivia Castleton, two strangers dealing with their own serious issues.

As they secretly meet over the coming days, Mehreen develops a strong bond with Cara and Olivia, the only people who seem to understand what she's going through. But ironically, the thing that brought them together to commit suicide has also created a mutually supportive friendship that makes them realize that life is worth living. It's not long before all three want out of the pact. But in a terrifying twist of fate, the website won't let them stop, and an increasingly sinister game begins, with MementoMori playing the girls off against each other.

A pact is a pact, after all. In this powerful debut written in three points of view, Yasmin Rahman has created a moving, poignant novel celebrating life.
