In a world where mental illness can grant you the legal right to die, seventeen-year-old Koralee Benson is running out of time. After surviving a suicide attempt, she wakes up in a hospital bed, staring down a terrifying deadline-her eighteenth birthday. In less than a year, she will have the legal right to request Repose7, a revolutionary drug designed to bring a peaceful, painless end to suffering. Her parents are desperate to stop her before it's too late, but Koralee has already made up her mind. At least, that's what she thinks. Enter Dr. Crimm, the lead psychiatrist for Right to Life (R2L), an organization dedicated to proving that life-no matter how painful-can be worth living. Funded by the influential Wilkinson family, whose own son was lost to suicide, the program offers a controversial alternative to Repose7: an experimental treatment combining cutting-edge medication with immersive virtual reality therapy. The technology allows patients to relive their traumas-not as themselves, but through the eyes of others. The goal? To shift their perspectives, heal their wounds, and reignite their will to live. Koralee joins five other teens, each battling their own demons, as they embark on a mind-bending, emotional journey through fear, pain, and redemption. But when seventeen-year-old Braden Ertz-a convicted murderer with no memory of his crime-requests the right to die rather than serve a death sentence, the nation is thrown into a moral firestorm. Braden was found unconscious in the pool where his fifteen-year-old girlfriend was drowned. With no recollection of what happened, he faces execution for a crime he isn't even sure he committed. The legal system is divided. His guilt is debated. And when the judge overseeing his case learns of R2L's experimental memory-retrieval therapy, Braden is pulled into the program-alongside Koralee and the others. As ethical battles rage across the country, the teens in R2L must face the rawest versions of themselves, question everything they thought they knew, and decide if life is truly worth fighting for. Because in a world where death is a choice, choosing to live may be the bravest thing of all. A gripping, thought-provoking journey into mental health, morality, and the power of perspective, this novel is perfect for fans of emotionally intense, character-driven storytelling. If you love books that challenge the way you see the world, this one is for you.
