The Story
Seventeen-year-old Tristan Collins' senior year is turned upside down when his little brother's leukemia returns from its remission. Armed with nothing more than a sketchbook and an overactive imagination, Tristan spends his nights at the ten-year-old's hospital bedside creating wild stories that keep his spirits high despite the grim circumstances.
Unfortunately, Tristan isn’t completely immune to the bleak prognosis. With his new friends, Izzy(a prolific soprano with an upcoming recital that could jumpstart her musical career) and Makiko(a brilliant student still haunted by a family tragedy), the trio must grapple with young love, loss, grief, and acceptance as they work to finish their final year of high school.

Original and Heartwarming
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2026A refreshingly original and heartwarming story about a brother's love and the value of unexpected friendships. The writing style, with its descriptive imagery and fast-paced dialogue, fully immerses you in the story. The reader quickly becomes emotionally invested in the characters, most especially Tristan, Maki, and Izzy. The novel beautifully showcases that everyone has a story to tell and we gain inner strength when we break down our walls to others. Despite heavy themes, there is built-in comic relief to soften the tension. A powerful, fast-paced read that can reach a wide-range of audiences.
