If there’s one thing Sloane Silver can count on, it’s that the future will always kiss and tell. The moment her lips first touch someone else’s, a glimpse of their final kiss plays out in her mind. That doesn’t bother Sloane, who’s here for a good time, not a long time, and prefers the uncomplicated boys to the complicated ones. So when Page Hazelton—sad-eyed, beautiful, and complicated—tells her the world is headed for nuclear apocalypse in a handful of weeks, Sloane would love nothing more than to dismiss him.

Except, none of Sloane’s kisses indicate a future beyond Page’s apocalyptic deadline. The end of the world just might be real. . .unfortunately, as real as her growing attraction to him.

As the time to the supposed end ticks down, Sloane and Page resolve to tackle an end-of-the-world bucket list together. Somewhere in between breaking into community swimming pools for late-night swims and daring to try wasabi-flavored ice cream, though, is the secret Page has been keeping about their pasts, which are more connected than Sloane ever realized. And deciding whether or not to kiss him will change everything about Sloane’s future. . .including how much of one she has.
