Lung cancer patient Ryleigh Sinclair wants a boyfriend for the summer.
And my mother wants me to be the one to make her wish come true.
Me. The eternal pessimist. The guy who no longer believes in happy endings after my dad died of pancreatic cancer and my girlfriend dumped me in the same month.
But after weeks of spending time with Ryleigh, she somehow does the impossible. She fills the gaping hole of my father’s absence until I’m the one hoping for a miracle.
I’ve learned my lesson about wishes.
Happily ever afters are a lie.
Yet I’m the one wishing like hell for another outcome for Ryleigh.
I lost my father to cancer; I can’t lose her too.

EXCERPT:
“You make me happy.”
I swallow, afraid to move and the break the spell we’re under. “No, I don’t,” I say, my throat raw.
“You do. This last month, I’ve laughed more than I have since I lost him. You make me forget to be so damn sad all the time.” His other hand rises, and he drags his thumb over my lower lip while my heart crashes into my ribs.
“Grayson . . .”
“You asked me why I kissed you.”
