What to expect
A unique, unforgettable and tragically romantic YA debut, perfect for readers of Laura Nowlin’s If He Had Been With Me, Adam Silvera’s They Both Die at the End and Dustin Thao’s You’ve Reached Sam.
72 hours before someone dies, Sydney Hoffman sees a pink neon countdown clock over their head. Seeing death’s status updates in real time without being able to do anything has left Syd closed-off, cynical and alone.
Then she meets Peter Beckett. Outgoing, optimistic and annoyingly gorgeous, Peter convinces Syd to wander NYC, looking for pink clocks and helping strangers live their best final hours.
As they grow closer, Syd starts to believe that maybe she can let go of the past and have a future instead. Until the universe shows her the one clock she can’t ignore …

“If you’re looking for a book to rip your heart out while loving every second of the pain—this is it. This is a story you’ll root for and a book you’ll toss across the room, then run to retrieve it to see how it ends. Riveting, addicting, and excruciatingly beautiful to the very end—Schramm has created a future classic. – DeAndra Davis, William C. Morris Award winning author of All the Noise at Once

"If you want to feel something again, read this book. I ugly cried my way through 72 Hours of You in a single sitting at the very public library and regret nothing.
