About this listen

Smart-mouthed and funny, sometimes raunchy, Richard Casey is in most ways a typical 17-year-old boy. Except Richie has cancer, and he's spending his final days in a hospice unit. His mother, his doctors, and the hospice staff are determined to keep Richie alive as long as possible. But in this place where people go to die, Richie has plans to make the most of the life he has left.

Sylvie, the only other hospice inmate under 60, then tells Richie she has a few plans of her own. What begins as camaraderie quickly blossoms into real love, and this star-crossed pair is determined to live on their own terms, in whatever time they have left.

Hollis Seamon creates one of the most original voices to appear in young adult literature, narrating a story that is unflinching, graphic, heartbreaking, funny, and above all life-affirming.

Different, but catching

Not many words to say, this book is incredible! First of all Noah Galvin has an amazing voice for audio books, speaks the scenes, he makes you feel like you can see what’s happening. And what is happening is this fantastic story about young love. I’ll definitely be recommending it to all my friends... This isn’t my usual genre but, I loved it and will no doubt listen to it again sometime in the future!
