From the New York Times bestselling author Mary H.K. Choi comes a heartwarming and humorous tale about two estranged sisters and the lengths they would go to save one of their lives—even if it means swapping identities.

Jayne and June Baek are as different as night and day. June, the eldest sister, is a self-assured, know-it-all narcissist with a problematic finance job and an equally lifeless apartment (according to Jayne). Jayne, on the other hand, is an emotionally immature, self-absorbed basket case who lives in squalor, has terrible taste in men, and needs to get to class and stop wasting Mom and Dad's money (if you ask June). These sisters, who moved from Seoul to San Antonio to New York together, are now strangers.

That is, until June is diagnosed with cancer. And Jayne becomes the only one who can help her.

Flung together by circumstance, housing woes, and family secrets, will the sisters learn more about each other than they're willing to confront? And what if, while helping June, Jayne has to confront the fact that maybe she's sick, too?
