This story is strangely hopeful and funny for a book about the intersection of the lives of two terminally ill patients. The story is told with such tenderness and beautiful and complex character development. Every character main and side have a rich story. 
Summary:
Lenni (age 17) and Margot (age 83) meet in the hospital and form an unlikely friendship in the art room. They want to create art for the combined 100 years of their lives, but they don't know if they will live long enough, so they try and use what time they have to make an imprint of their lives on the world and on each other.
