The Half-Life of Love

All's fair in love and death . . . or is it?



Flint Larson has 41 days, 9 hours, and 42 minutes to live. He's known that since he was eight years old and half-lifed, a small twinge that tells a person when they've lived exactly half their life. And since then, Flint's done everything he can to make dying seem like a good thing. Cutting off all his friends, refusing to eat his favorite foods or listen to the best bands, reading only the most depressing Russian literature. He plans to spend his final days quietly back in his hometown with just his parents, waiting to die.



He did not expect to meet September Harrington, an utter explosion of brilliance and fun. September has dedicated her life to curing the half-life, landing a coveted internship at the world-renowned Half-Life Institute in town, after her sister's death last year. A loss she's never dealt with, instead choosing to live up each moment in the center of everything or deep in lab.



However, as September and Flint grow closer, Flint can't bring himself to tell September he's going to die. Because he might just be falling in love with her. But as his time runs out, his secret only grows heavier. And the truth could very well be the key to unlocking the pent-up sadness September never dealt with. And discovering more about half-life.



Will their connection prove extraordinary enough to last beyond those two months, or is their time together destined to end in heartbreak?
