Publisher's Synopsis
Can eighteen things save a life? Olga Gay Worontzoff thinks her biggest problems are an awful name (after her grandmothers, of course) and not attending prom with Conner, her best friend and secret crush since kindergarten. Then, Conner is killed in a freak accident and Olga feels responsible for his death. The sarcastic, nerdy girl who never missed a day of school is suddenly lost and unable to deal with the emotional pain. When she downs an entire bottle of pain pills, her parents force her into counseling. There, her therapist writes a prescription in the form of a life list titled "18 Things": eighteen quests to complete the year of her eighteenth birthday. But there's more to Olga's quests than meets the eye - when her therapist reveals the startling truth, her world is shaken. Now, she doesn't just risk losing her true soul-mate forever - she risks losing her very soul as well. There's only one thing she knows for certain: her choice will affect their future for all eternity.
