by Daniel Ehrenhaft
PRMS hardcover 219 pages
genre: YA coming-of-age
This book went from intriguing to questionable to downright stupid to mildly redeeming - maybe. The premise is the classic "what would you do if you knew you only had 24 hours to live?" Ted Burger spends much of his time at the Circle Eat Diner with his best friend Mark and Mark's girlfriend Nikki.
My favorite part was when Ted saw Billy Rifkin and saw someone whose life had changed in a meaningful way. I also liked his epiphany that sex is not to be treated lightly. The rest of the story and the characters just didn't work very well. I like Ehrenhaft's more recent work better. This one just falls short.
