A marriage of convenience has never been like this.
Just before her eighteenth birthday, the doctors tell Emily she has three months to live. Not much time to complete the bucket list she's had since she was twelve. The first item is the hardest--"Get married"--so she turns to the only man she knows who can help.
Paul, a barely reformed bad boy, has inherited a fortune from his mother, but his life is defined by his conflicted relationship with his father--a white-collar, organized-crime boss who, thanks to Paul, is being brought up on federal charges. Without Emily's testimony, his father might walk, so Paul agrees to her unconventional proposal. He'll be her husband for her last three months.
They agree that she'll testify against his father and he'll help her complete her bucket list. It's not supposed to be a true marriage. No consummation. No future. No love.
No love.
She's supposed to die, after all, and love might not be enough.
My Thoughts
I waited until all parts came out before I started to read. This book is heartbreaking.
Emily is 17 year old and suffering from an unknown disease. She only have 3 months left to live, and wanted to fulfill her bucket list before she dies. Paul is 23 year old, he resent his father and wants him to be charged. Emily prosecuted him and suspected creating this virus that Emily have. He felt sorry for Emily, so he agreed to help her do the things in the list and one of them is to marry her.
It was a marriage of convenience that blossom into love.
I both love the characters. Emily was strong and one of the bravest heroine I read so far. Paul is one of my favorite hero, He was there for Emily through out the book. He loved her.
I highly recommend this book, there's angst and I cried a lot of times. Hope I can find another good story like this! :-)
