Hadley Jamison is shocked when she hears that her classmate, Archer Morales, has committed suicide. She didn’t know the quiet, reserved guy very well, but that doesn’t stop her from feeling there was something she could have done to help him. Hoping to find some sense of closure, Hadley attends Archer’s funeral. There, Hadley is approached by a man who calls himself Death and offers her a deal. If Hadley accepts, she will be sent back 27 days in time to prevent Archer from killing himself. But when Hadley agrees to Death’s terms and goes back to right the past, she quickly learns her mission is harder than she ever could have known. Hadley soon discovers Archer’s reasons for being alone, and Archer realizes that having someone to confide in isn’t as bad as he’d always thought. But when a series of dangerous accidents starts pushing them apart, Hadley must decide whether she is ready to risk everything—including her life—to keep Archer safe. From award-winning Wattpad author Alison Gervais (HonorInTheRain) comes In 27 Days, a story of redemption, first love, and the strength it takes to change the future.

I refused to believe that. Everyone had their own penguin, including Archer. If he managed to open his eyes just a little bit, he might possibly find that maybe his penguin was right in front of him.

“But . . . Archer doesn’t,” I said as an afterthought.

“No,” Carlo agreed. “He doesn’t. But he sees you.”

It wasn’t painful, like I thought it would be. It was easy, like falling asleep. I felt so much better when my eyes closed, knowing I didn’t have to open them again.

“I . . .” He sucked in a breath, splotches of pink covering his cheeks. “I really . . . haveanappreciationforpenguinsnow.”

I didn’t comprehend what he was saying at first, but when it finally sunk in, I had to smile. “You think I’m your penguin,” I said.
