About the book

From the bestselling author of THE TATTOOIST OF AUSCHWITZ comes a heartbreaking contemporary novel of a dying teenager's final wish, a lonely young man's journey towards connection, and the unexpected friendship they find together. Perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes, Jodi Picoult, and John Green.

Jesse is 15. She loves her friends, her little brother and her parents - even when they're arguing, which feels like constantly these days. But most of all, she loves playing video games. Even from her hospital bed.

Alex is 29. He doesn't love a lot of things. To be honest, he's not really sure he knows how to. His desk at work, as VR games designer, is empty, much like his life feels sometimes.

Then Jesse makes a wish. A simple one: a video experience made of her life, something to be there, just in case she isn't.

One loving teenager.
One lonely adult.

Which one will get the happy ending?

Heather Morris is an international no.1 bestseller and has sold over 18 million copies worldwide. This brand-new novel is a fresh direction for her but speaks to all the themes that you know and love her for: hope in the darkest of places, family, love and courage.

About the Author

Heather Morris

Heather Morris is a Native of New Zealand and is now resident in Australia, working in a large public hospital in Melbourne.


For several years, Morris studied and wrote screenplays, one of which was optioned by an academy award winning screenwriter in the U.S.


In 2003, Morris was introduced to an elderly gentleman "who might just have a story worth telling". The day she met Lale Sokolov changed Heather's life, as their friendship grew and he embarked on a journey of self scrutiny, entrusting the inner most details of his life during the Holocaust. Morris originally wrote Lale's story as a screenplay - which ranked high in international competitions - before reshaping it into her debut novel, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, which was shortlisted for the Goldsboro Books Glass Bell Award 2019.
