"In The Half-Life of Love, Brianna Bourne offers us a moving and
enthralling story that reminds us that love lights our way as we all
travel in death's shadow." --Jeff Zentner, award-winning author of In
the Wild Light and The Serpent King
Flint Larsen has 41 days, 9 hours, and 42 minutes to live. He's known
exactly when he's going to die since he was eight years old and
half-lifed, a small twinge that tells a person when they've lived half
their life. From that moment, Flint's done everything he can to make his
death more bearable. Cutting off all his friends, refusing to eat his
favorite foods, reading only the most depressing literature by long-dead
writers. He plans to spend his final days back in his hometown with his
parents, quietly waiting to die.
But then he meets September Harrington, an utter explosion of brilliance
and fun, and all his plans fly out the window. September has dedicated
herself to curing the half-life, landing a coveted internship at the
world-renowned Half-Life Institute. She has her own past that she's
refusing to deal with, choosing instead to spend her nights living it up
with her friends and her days deep in the lab, where she's working to
find a cure.
When their worlds collide, it feels like the start of an epic,
once-in-a-lifetime love. Only Flint can't bring himself to tell
September he's dying, and September's keeping secrets too. The closer
they get, the less time they have together and the more their secrets
threaten to destroy everything. Can September and Flint save each other,
or are their days numbered from the start?
