Ever since she started #middleschool, life hasn't been easy for Kaelin Delaney. Something always felt off; she #worried about everything. EVERYTHING. And when she got sad about anything, it would get to the point where getting out of bed was hard. Her parents tell her to stop worrying. To be happy. To stop being so dramatic. Her #friends start taking her to #church and talking to her more about #Jesus and how He can help her through her hard times.
So she starts to #pray. Tries not to worry. Prays. Tries to be happy. Prays some more.
Her #senioryear of #highschool, she meets the new student, Liam Coleman. A non-believer; hiding more than just his thoughts. Kaelin is drawn to him from the beginning, when she knows she shouldn't be. Stay away from him. He's bad news. The more time she spends with him she discovers #secrets, #lies and unimaginable #tragedy that make her start asking herself some hard questions.
Where is #God in our pain?
Is God really worth it?
Is life really worth it?

He doesn't think so, because Liam Coleman is dead.
Not figuratively. Very much literally. He knows it.
But no one else does.
The last thing he remembers before "waking up" is having a conversation with an angel about his life; the changes he had to make if he didn't want to be tormented for all eternity. But that was impossible. There is no such thing as #Heaven or #Hell.
Is there?
When he "arrives" in Duluth, Minnesota, Liam is thrown into a world he thought he'd escaped. He has to go to school. Abide by a curfew. Do homework. Have friends. He begrudgingly does all these things that he's supposed to do to simply bide his time.
He has eight more months.
Then he meets Kaelin Delaney, who annoys him from the very start. All her talk about Church and Jesus, her naïve view on the world and people drives Liam crazy. He tries everything he can think of to push her away but she keeps showing up. What's more ... he lets her.
It's almost like he cares.
But when you know you have eight more months of "life", falling in #
love doesn't seem like the best idea.
Or does it?
