So Hannah does just that becoming a successful lawyer and dating a handsome musician. She has it all until the carefully constructed pieces of her life break apart.

From Whitney Barbetti: "Ten Below Zero"

This is a story about two broken people who find one another and don't necessarily like each other. These characters are blunt, rude and at times annoying. They are broken and sheltered and vulnerable.

"In here," he said, pushing on the skin above my heart, "you're ten below zero. And you're closer to death than I am."

"My name is Parker. My body is marked with scars from an attack I don't remember. I don't want to remember. I choose to live my life by observation, not through experience. While people are laughing, kissing and connecting, I'm in the corner. Watching them live. I'm indifferent to everything, everyone. The only emotion I feel with any kind of depth is annoyance, and I feel it often.

"A text message sent to the wrong number proves to be my undoing.

"His name is Everett, but I call him rude. He's pushy, he's arrogant, he crowds my personal space, and worst of all: he makes me feel.

"Everett is dying. And he's spending his final days living, truly living. In doing so, he's forcing me to feel, to heal. He hurts me, he fulfills me, he completes me. And still, he's dying."
