"To everyone else, 17-year-old golden boy Kit Summers has it all figured out. But when he starts having premonitions of death, he must find a way to stop them—while navigating new feelings for an old friend who has dark secrets of her own—before his life spirals out of control."

This book has come a long, long way, and I can't thank @danlazaragent and @kmeltzer123 enough for making this possible."
