A hilarious, emotional, and thought-provoking book club read for fans of David Nicholls and Beth OLeary.

Nell has always known the date she is going to die. After a psychic predicted her death date twenty years ago, she has lived life accepting that she would never see forty, embracing adventure and traveling the world, choosing fun over commitment, and laying down roots. So, when the fateful day comes, Nell feels ready. She sends five excruciatingly honest confessions to her sister, parents, and past loves, knowing she won't be around to face the consequences.

Then, with her heart laid bare, all that's left to do is check into a glamorous hotel and wait for the inevitable. But when Nell unexpectedly wakes up the next morning broke, single, and very much alive, she must figure out exactly how to seize this second chance at life. And then it also hits her: What on earth happens now that everyone knows how she really feels?

This is the perfect book club read for fans of David Nicholls, Holly Smale, and Beth OLeary, asking what it is that makes for a life well lived.
