If you only had 24 hours left, what would you do? Spend it
with those you love? Do something new, one last time? Or grant a wish? This
story follows Emerson and Vince on their last day-everyone’s last day-on Earth.
They go on a journey of granting wishes, and meet some very interesting people
and their stories. But they also have some un-granted wishes they hope to
fulfill on their last day.
The story was told in the third person, so it felt like the
author trying to tell a story rather than immersing the reader into the story
and seeing the story from the characters point of view, also there are a lot of
references to modern pop culture, which may not be understood in the future…
