About this ebook
For the first printing only! This paperback features stenciled sprayed edges while the special edition supply lasts.
New York Times bestselling author Morgan Matson’s celebrated novel about hope in the face of heartbreak now has a beautiful new look!
Taylor’s family might not be the closest-knit—everyone is a little too busy and overscheduled—but for the most part, they get along just fine. Then Taylor’s dad is diagnosed with terminal cancer, and her parents decide the family will spend one last summer all together at their old lake house in the Pocono Mountains.
In addition to her father’s illness, Taylor’s return to the community where she spent her younger summers is complicated by the past. The people she thought she’d left behind for good haven’t actually gone anywhere. Her former summer best friend is still around, as is her first boyfriend…and he’s much cuter at seventeen than he was at twelve.
As the summer progresses and the Edwards become more of a family, they’re all too aware that they’re battling a ticking clock. Sometimes, though, there is just enough time to get a second chance—with family, with friends, and with love.

This book was amazing, its wasnt predictable. The ending isn't what you would expect and it makes you value the time you have with your family because you never know when they'll be taken away from you.

This book is my all time favorite. i felt like I was in the story. I found myself unable to put it down. I even cried in the end, the only bad thing about it was that I felt that it ended too abruptly.
