CAN A LOVE STORY THAT STARTS IN CHEMO REALLY HAVE A HAPPY ENDING?
GETTING DUMPED the same day he’s diagnosed with cancer is pretty on-brand for Cam LeClerc. He was the darling of the Chicago indie music scene until his ex aired their dirty laundry online. Now he’s the fallen star everyone loves to hate, shivering in a hospital gown, coming to grips with losing his girlfriend, his reputation, and the family jewels.
Of course, things won’t be that easy.
On the way to chemo, Cam collides (literally) with a fellow cancer patient: Brynne Bogdan, a popular podcaster who’s exactly the sort of music nerd he writes songs for… and who’s just rear-ended his car. But what starts as the worst day of both of their lives becomes one of the best. They’re kind of messily perfect together. Because of Brynne, Cam actually looks forward to chemo. He’s falling fast. He’s making music again. He’s finding the will not just to survive, but live.
Which is probably too good to be true.
When ugly realities resurface, Cam begins to question his bond with Brynne. And the past isn’t the only threat: their futures aren’t guaranteed, either. They’re both fighting the battle of their lives.
