AUTHOR’s NOTE
Hi. I'm Sophie.
This book is about 118 days. It's about a paper crown from Burger King. It's about 3AM pancakes and a thermostat that stays at 68 degrees.
It's also about glioblastoma. About hospice. About a three-year-old who thinks hospital beds are for sleepovers.
Sam is dying. Michael is saying yes. Lucy is learning how to say goodbye.
This is not a story about getting better. It's a story about getting through.
Content notes: Terminal illness, grief, end-of-life care, some medical details, a lot of crying. If you're living this right now, please protect your heart first. This book will wait.
If you're here for a love story — you're in the right place. It's just not the kind with an epilogue ten years later.
Rule One: Whatever she needs.
Rule Two: Lucy.
Thank you for taking this light with you.
(Song to play for this book...before you go by Lewis capaldi)
