Key quotes
· 5 pulledFour days. That's how long Snow has to live.
Hours after his father dies in a car crash, seventeen-year-old Conan finds his notebook filled with lyrics in his own scrawl, music he doesn't remember writing, alongside premonitions of his own death.

Each time the week resets, she dies, and Conan's songs might be the key to breaking the cycle.
