A compulsive liar with a quick-witted response to everything, she's willing to do whatever it takes to just skate through the rest of high school until she can graduate and escape it all: the mind-numbing monotony of this town, the guilt of everything that happened with her dad, and the debt that her mum's dealing with that she feels responsible for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut then Hattie finds out she's dying. Not like in that overdramatic way that people sometimes say they're dying. She's \u003ci\u003eliterally\u003c\/i\u003e dying. Apparently, she was exposed to a parasite because of a mistake her mum's company made. (And no, the irony of that all is not lost on Hattie...) And she's not the only one. Two other kids from her class also have been exposed to the parasite: Carmen, who seems to be totally perfect, with the class presidency, a loving family, \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e a totally beautiful girlfriend; and Albie, a quiet kid who survived childhood cancer only to deal with this, which feels like an incredibly cruel joke from the universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHattie, Albie, and Carmen are told they only have thirty to sixty days to live. But instead of just sitting around a hospital and waiting to die, the three kids form an unlikely alliance to live the last days of their lives out to the fullest. Stealing and sailing a boat to Miami? Absolutely. Adopting the turtle that a random college student hands to them? Of course—they couldn't leave Scooter to fend for himself! Sneaking into the sold-out music festival in town? You better believe it! And if Hattie just happens to find a way to raise some money for her mum through filming all their misadventures—well, she's not going to \u003ci\u003enot\u003c\/i\u003e do that then.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSnarky, bold, and deeply real, \u003ci\u003eThirty to Sixty Days\u003c\/i\u003e examines the ways that three teens grapple with the threat of imminent death—and how each ultimately discovers what life ought to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016583266540,"sku":"9781419752308","price":35.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/13290613482693.jpg?v=1763602178"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/alikay-wood.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
