Seventeen year old Tess is dying from Leukemia. She has started a list of things she wants to do before she dies.
1. Have sex
2. Say “Yes” to everything
3. Do drugs
4. Break the law
5. Drive
6. Have fame
7. Travel the World - traded for Getting Mom and Dad back together again
8. Love
9. Adam moving in
10. Lauren Tessa Walker - Zoey’s baby
11. A cup of tea
12. Instructions to Dad
13. To hold my brother as dusk settles on the window ledge
14. A joke
15. To get out of bed and go downstairs and its all a joke
Tessa does get to do the things on her list. She meets the young man next door and they fall in love. She helps her friend Zoey who is pregnant and gets to hold her baby. Her parents get back together and she loves her brother. All but her last wish - it’s not a joke. She dies peacefully at the end of the story.
