About the book:
18-year-old Vincent Hazelwood has spent his
entire life being shuffled from one foster home to the next. His grades sucked.
Making friends? Out of the question thanks to his nervous breakdowns and
unpredictable moods. Still, Vince thought when Maggie Atkins took him in, he
might’ve finally found a place to get his life—and his issues—in
order.
But then Maggie keels over from a heart attack. Vince is homeless,
alone, and the inheritance money isn't going to last long. A year ago, Vince
watched a girl leap to her death off a bridge, and now he's starting to think
she had the right idea.
Vince stumbles across a website forum geared toward people considering
suicide. There, he meets others with the same debate regarding the pros and cons
of death: Casper, battling cancer, would rather off herself than slowly waste
away. And there’s quiet, withdrawn Adam, who suspects if he died, his mom
wouldn't even notice.
As they gravitate toward each other, Vince searches for a reason to live
while coping without Maggie's guidance, coming to terms with Casper's imminent
death, and falling in love with a boy who doesn't plan on sticking around.
