Tessa is a 16 year old that has been diagnosed as terminally ill with Leukemia, and decides to spend the time she has left " living instead of dying" (book) and creates a bucket list to finish before she dies.
This title plays strongly into the theme of an impending sense of death, and while the Tessa has accepted the fact that she will die of Leukemia, she is still shown to act out negatively (as any teenager, or even adult would do) and with its first person narrative, those scenes are all the more powerful.
