But when a rare liver disorder she was born with flares up unexpectedly, she finds herself saddled with a new persona no one is able to see past: Dying Girl. One call from the hospital with a viable transplant would fix that, but until then, everything she's been sure of -- like her college plans or the mural she's been commissioned to paint -- has become a huge question mark, threatening to drag her down into a sea of what-ifs she's desperate to avoid. It doesn't help when those closest to her start acting differently, like her parents, who are faking calm and failing terribly, or her best friend, Sibby, who's turned Amelia into the poster girl for organ donation.
