OverviewJennifer Cole has just been told that she has just three months to live -- ninety days to say goodbye to friends and family, and to put her affairs in order. Jennifer realizes she only has one real regret: the relationships she's lost. Rather than running off to complete a frantic bucket list, Jennifer chooses to stay put and write a letter to the three most significant people in her life, to say the things she never dared before: her selfish sister, her cheating ex-husband, and her unreliable ex-boyfriend -- and finally tell them the truth.�But as Jennifer soon discovers, the truth isn't always as straightforward as it seems, and death has a way of surprising you.
