A spectacular Good Morning America Book Club pick introduces an "irresistible" adult debut about a young woman racing against the clock to solve her own murder. In NOT QUITE DEAD YET, readers meet Jet Mason, a twenty-seven-year-old from one of the wealthiest families in Woodstock, Vermont, who has spent her life waiting for tomorrow to begin.

To her parents' dismay, Jet rejects an extremely risky operation to guarantee herself at least a few final days.
