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)

Obsidian: He's hilarious. Like, actually. I loved it. You're writing style is great, although you could do with a few less murmurs and mutters. I know it sounds critical, but I have the same problem and I hate it. Overall, it was one of the best stories I've read on here so far. I liked it better than those M...
