Over the course of one weekend, the crises of two close families are about to trigger a chain reaction that will expose a far more disturbing web of secrets.

This book explores 30 different lessons and notions that I've learned before blowing out the candles on my 30th birthday cake. They're fun, raw, yet important nuggets on lessons of love and career, sex and status, health and wellness, family and f--k boys, and most importantly - the pursuit of genuine self-love and finding true happiness. 

My name is Chloe Repaco. I’m your typical 20-something college graduate who is in love and just trying to get her shit together. Next to my bed sits a calendar with 127 days that have Xs on them, and there are about another 90 days to go. Those Xs are me counting the days until my soldier, Vinse, returns from Iraq. He yearns to be a part of my world again. As far as he’s concerned, it’s a world and a life where everything is okay. Little does he know that my world, our world, and our future is about to be turned upside down the moment he returns home.  

After months of my monsters attacking me in my dreams, I come to know I am not normal. I am not human. I don’t know what I am, but whatever it is, my parents want me dead. They see me as a threat, a target. When the monsters from my nightmares manifest in real life, I will do anything in my power just to stay alive.
