Klappentext

A high-stakes speculative romance by a multiple award-winning, Carnegie-shortlisted author: They Both Die at the End meets Ali Hazelwood.

DON'T FALL IN LOVE.
**
That's the only rule.**

In this world, everyone knows their death date. If you're rich, you can check in to a resort to have the greatest final few weeks of your life, in five-star luxury.

Regan works at one of these resorts as a "Juliet". Her next client is Jude, who has a week to live. Regan's job is simple: make Jude feel as though he has found true love before he dies.

But when a fake romance starts to become something else, can they take on Fate together - before Jude's death date catches up with them?
