The trip of a lifetime, a summer of love - unputdownable writing, perfect for fans of John Green and E. Lockhart.
Maddie O'Neill Levine wants to spend the summer before college tying up loose ends with her best friends - kissing boys and soaking up the last of the summer sun. Then her beloved grandmother drops a bombshell; she has been diagnosed with cancer. To spend quality time with her family, Maddie's grandmother takes the whole family on a round-the-word cruise - but at the end of it, Gram might not return home.
Here is a story about love, loss and the power of forgiveness.
