For fans of 13 Reasons Why and Girl in Pieces, this novel portrays the journey to hope and life for a girl dealing with mental illness. Seventeen-year-old Catherine Pulaski is aware that Zero, the overwhelming depression stemming from her bipolar disorder, is looming. Despite a previous suicide attempt, Catherine is preparing for another encounter with Zero by stockpiling medications in an old ballet-shoe box. However, before she takes any drastic steps, she decides to create a short bucket list. With the help of her family, new friends, and a new treatment plan, Catherine begins to alleviate her feelings of isolation. This poignant story explores themes of loss, grief, hope, and the various forms of love that impact a young woman's battle with mental illness and the associated treatment stigma.
