For sixteen-year-old Lizzie Stoller that moment is when she collapses, out of the blue. The next thing she knows sheโs in a hospital with an illness sheโs never heard of.
But that isnโt the only life-changing moment for Lizzie. The other is when Connor and his dog, Verlaine, walk into her hospital room.

However, the more time she spends with him, and the deeper in love she falls, the more she realizes that Connor has secrets and a deep pain of his own . . . and that while being with him has the power to make Lizzie forget about her illness, being with her might tear Connor apart.
