Ninety days to come to terms with a diagnosis that is unfair, unexpected, and completely unpronounceable. Focusing on the positives (she won't have to go on in a world without Bowie or Maya Angelou; she won't get Alzheimer's or Parkinson's like her parents, or have teeth that flop out at the mere mention of the word apple), Jennifer realizes she only has one real regret: the relationships she's lost.

At first, Jennifer feels cleansed by her catharsis. Liberated, even. Her ex-boyfriend rushes to her side and she even starts to build bridges with her sister Isabelle (that is, once Isabelle's confirmed that Jennifer's condition isn't genetic). But once you start telling the truth, it's hard to stop. And as Jennifer soon discovers, the truth isn't always as straightforward as it seems, and death has a way of surprising you..."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Terminally ill $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sisters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Truth $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 14 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409033537.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012013918.0 952 $l ZSPC475 $d 20230404014413.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909054437.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061343.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529020620.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20200414012721.0 952 $l YWPD162 $d 20200114015813.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20191211013719.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20191123011208.0 952 $l DYPD423 $d 20191106010237.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20191005010717.0 952 $l XHPD657 $d 20190918024355.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190716013304.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2FA24A4EA78F11E99DEDB91B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
