Early Departures

audioboek


Like Adam Silveraā€™s They Both Die at the End and Colleen Hooverā€™s It Ends with Us, Early Departures by Justin A. Reynolds, author of Opposite of Always, is a powerful and deeply moving YA contemporary novel with a speculative twist about love, death, grief, and friendship.

What if you could bring your best friend back to lifeā€”but only for a short time?

Jamalā€™s best friend, Q, doesnā€™t know that he died, and that heā€™s about to die . . . again. He doesnā€™t know that Jamal tried to save him. And that the reason they havenā€™t been friends for two years is because Jamal blames Q for the accident that killed his parents.

But what if Jamal could have a second chance? A new technology allows Q to be reanimated for a few weeks before he dies . . . permanently. And Qā€™s mom is not about to let anyone ruin this miracle by telling Q about his impending death. So how can Jamal fix everything if he canā€™t tell Q the truth?

Early Departures weaves together loss, grief, friendship, and love to form a wholly unique homage to the bonds that bring people together for lifeā€”and beyond.
