Publisher's summary

13 Reasons Why meets Beautiful Monsters in this tragically funny, awkwardly romantic, alternative love story.

One guy. One girl. One deadline. Countless secrets. Thirty hours to save one life. The clock is ticking. Are you ready for this? Are you sure? Then listen up.

Time is all we have. You and me. Right now. We have some time, and I don’t know how much. What I choose to do with this undetermined amount of time could determine the course of the rest of your life and mine.

When reporter Seth McCollum encounters a devil-may-care woman skinny-dipping in a fountain, he believes he has his work cut out for him. As the author of the Humans of Dallas column in the city paper, his job is to track down average yet interesting residents of the city and tell their story. With a deadline looming, the quirky woman seems like a perfect subject for his latest story. That is, until she steals his car - while he’s still in it.

Held captive in his own vehicle, Seth discovers his would-be subject is a bottomless well of dark secrets, twisted family history, and deep-rooted pain. After she finally surrenders his car, he’s hell-bent on telling her story, but she won’t even tell him her name.

A mystifying, humorous, fast-paced chase ensues, only to collide with an unexpected tragedy as Seth realizes saving the young woman’s life lies squarely in his hands. Time is running short, and he’s only got one idea. He’s convinced he can save her, but she’s not convinced she wants to be saved.

Great Story & Narration🎧 Captivating & Heartfelt!

Wow, this book takes you for a ride, first it grabs your attention, then it grabs your heart and it holds both hostage right to the end. K.L. Evans is a gifted author, she created interesting storylines that are easy to relate to. The characters are complex and are well developed. I adored the two leads, each complicated in their own way but they saw each other for who they were. Seth McCollum, a columnist chasing his next story for his “Humans of Dallas” column in the city paper. His interest is peaked by a girl he first saw bathing in fountain, they caught each others eyes before she was taken away by the police. When he runs into her again he decides she will be his next story. But she does not make it easy for him, he has to work for every bit of info, including her name. He is drawn to her and she becomes his obsession, he uncovers her secrets as much as she pries some out of him. The two grow close and the more he learns about her the more he realizes she needs saving, but can he, can you save someone who does not want to be saved. This books takes you on an emotional rollercoaster, it is eye opening and gut-wrenching at times. It covers sensitive topics and is the author does a great job handling and presenting them and keeping it real. K.L. Evans, thank you for this great story and the emotional rollercoaster ride.

I listened to the Audible edition, Rick Paradis is a great narrator and voice artist. This story is told in a unique fashion and he did a great portraying Seth and humanizing the characters and bringing them to life. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to.
