Twenty years old, smart, gorgeous and hip, college valedictorian Nicki McBain is on the fast track, poised to begin a high-powered law career when she hears devastating news: Her future will be measured not in years, but in months. Her body has dealt her a death sentence, but in the time she has left, Nicki has decided to live.
Accompanied by friends, Nicki embarks on a last-fling cruise to the Greek islands, determined to fill her days with as much beauty and pleasure as she can grab. But when she meets Michael Schuster, a handsome British photographer, she realises she's found the last thing she was looking for: true love. By hiding her illness, Nicki hopes to spare the man she loves the truth she cannot avoid, and to experience a lifetime of love, if only for a few weeks.
