From the back cover
For seven years, Five has been dying of pulmonary fibrosis, and her best friend Poppy and the love of her life, Wilson, have spent those years scraping together money for her medicine. Poppy auctions herself at VIP clubs; Wilson donates blood plasma and works construction until his pianist's hands are covered in calluses. Five sees the truth they hide: somewhere in the exhaustion and sacrifice, Poppy and Wilson have fallen in love with each other.
Wilson's patience finally breaks, and he asks Five why she will not simply die. Five has already signed a hospice DNR agreement, knowing that once she stops her medication she has only days left. She says nothing, letting them keep their promise of a portrait together while she plans to disappear and give them back their freedom.
Then one night she hears them fighting, and hears Poppy's denials swallowed by a kiss. Five collapses, coughing blood onto the floor, and the two of them burst in together, their guilt plain on their faces.
Inside the book Opening excerpt
1
It was my seventh year sick and I was flat broke, unable to afford tomorrow’s painkillers. My best friend, Poppy, returned to VIP clubs, auctioning herself to the highest bidder. When I arrived, muffled sounds leaked from the lounge. “Wilson, we can’t. If Five finds out—” Then his low breathing. “Something was slipped into your drink. How else do you purge it?”
My nails bit into my palms until my vision blacked. Poppy later shoved crumpled bills at my bedside. “Enough for your meds.” Wilson stared at her scraped knees and bruised wrists, his eyes reddening.
