"A special book that will make you laugh through your tears with its heartfelt take on happiness and friendship." Amy E. Reichert, author of The Coincidence of Coconut Cake

A deeply moving, wildly uplifting tale of two strangers with nothing to lose, and an unlikely friendship that will grab hold of your heart and never let go

Annie's heart can't be broken or so she thinks. After a series of tragic events tore a hole through the perfect life she'd built, there's nothing left to break. Jaded and alone, she's been sleepwalking through life, with a boring job, irritating roommate and serious binge-watching addiction. But she's okay with that if you've lost everything, you've got nothing to lose, right?

Polly is everything Annie doesn't need in her life or so she thinks. But Polly is determined to finally wake Annie up to life. Because if having a terminal illness has taught Polly anything, it's that time is short. Too short to waste a single day, which is precisely why she wants Annie to join her on a mission

One hundred days. One hundred happy things. Annie's convinced it's impossible, but so is saying no to Polly. Now Annie's doing things, and saying things, and feeling things she hasn't felt in a very long while if ever. Polly's convinced dancing in fountains and riding on roller coasters could heal Annie's shattered heart. But how can she possibly find happiness when letting people in means opening herself to more heartache?

hard to stop listening

Loved this book. This was a great book to listen to. read it for a book club and didn't want to stop.

Dramatically uplifting

i truly learned some additional life skills and see the pollyanna in myself especially thru the challenging times in my life

Everyone needs a reminder

We all need to take a breath sometimes and remember that it is up to us to be happy. I loved the characters in the story and the message. Always appreciate a great Scottish accent as well. Read this book even if you are jaded about stories that seem sappy. It will do you good and may even put a smile on your face, just like the Dr. ordered.

Touching

I avoided this book for a year. My best friend died a year ago, and 6 days. I wasn’t ready. Then, at the year mark, I gave it a go and I am so glad I did. It was so validating and healing. Thank you to the author for writing this. I
Highly recommend.
