By Wood, Alikay
A hilarious and irreverent coming-of-age YA novel in which three teens facing uncertain futures embark on a madcap adventure that challenges each of their identities. Hattie Larken doesn't know if she's ever really been real in her life. A compulsive liar with a quick-witted response to everything, she's willing to do whatever it takes to just skate through the rest of high school until she can graduate and escape it all: the mind-numbing monotony of this town, the guilt of everything that happened with her dad, and the debt that her mom's dealing with that she feels responsible for.. But then Hattie finds out she's dying. Not like in that overdramatic way that people sometimes say they're dying. She's literally dying. Apparently, she was exposed to a parasite because of a mistake her mom's company made.
