About this listen
Hattie Larken doesn't know if she's ever been real in her life. A compulsive liar with a quick-witted response to everything, she's willing to skate through high school until she can graduate and escape it all: the monotony of this town, the guilt of everything that happened with her dad, and the debt that her mom's dealing with that she feels responsible for.
But then Hattie finds out she's dying. Apparently, she was exposed to a parasite because of a mistake her mom's company made. And she's not the only one. Two other kids have been exposed to the parasite: Carmen, who seems to be totally perfect; and Albie, a quiet kid who survived childhood cancer.
Hattie, Albie, and Carmen are told they have thirty to sixty days to live. Instead of just sitting around a hospital and waiting to die, the three kids form an unlikely alliance to live the last days of their lives out to the fullest. And if Hattie just happens to find a way to raise some money for her mom through filming all their misadventures—well, she's not going to not do that then.
Thirty to Sixty Days examines the ways that three teens grapple with the thread of imminent death—and how each ultimately discovers what life ought to be.
