Protagonist Elise has been distraught since her brother was killed in a car accident that she foresaw. She foresees the death of everyone she touches, so that's no fun. She broke up with her boyfriend, quit the swim team, ghosted her best friend, and has to avoid her mother's hugs. Un/luckily for her, her father is giving her the cold shoulder, so she doesn't have to experience his passing on the regular. Along comes new girl Claire, whose future death isn't visible to Elise, but Claire can see into Elise's future, and wants to groom her for it.

This is fun paranormal YA romance without some of the annoying traits other teen books have, where you just want to youths to tell someone, or where they're constantly making things worse for themselves. I also appreciate that Sterling takes care to identify white people by race, as well as BIPOC characters, and there are named and important BIPOC characters (best friend, boyfriend, authority figure).
