There, she is approached by a man who calls himself Death and offers her a deal. If Hadley accepts, she will be sent back twenty-seven days in time to prevent Archer from killing himself.

Quotes

After reading only a few chapters of this gripping story, it’s clear why this novel was originally a Wattpad sensation! Compelling characters and several creative plot twists make this tale truly unputdownable. Readers will embrace Hadley and Archer (as well as Archer’s family) and their unusual yet endearing friendship. Tucked away between the wry humor and vivid NYC setting is a powerful look at grief and at the difference that even one person can make in another’s life. Hadley Jamison knows Archer Morales as an aloof loner, but she also remembers him as the guy who made her blush in freshman English. She is stunned when she learns Archer committed suicide, and she attends his funeral, wishing there was more she could have done. At the funeral, a man introduces himself as Death and offers Hadley a strange deal: If she goes back in time 27 days, she has the chance to stop Archer from taking his own life. She accepts but has no idea how much her own life will change in the process. Romantic Times

After the funeral of Archer, a classmate she hardly knew, popular but lonely Hadley Jamison is approached by a man who claims to be Death. He offers her a chance to go back in time--27 days--to stop Archer's suicide. She accepts, but her friends are hostile to her attempts to befriend Archer, and after integrating herself into his family, she begins to see issues with her own family. Havoc, a second paranormal character, further complicates Hadley's efforts. The legions of teens who do most of their pleasure reading on Wattpad and other fan-fiction sites will be accustomed to the style, which includes some clunky language and clichand eacute;d phrases. Listeners looking for Christian fiction that does not judge or condemn will be gratified by the respectful depiction of a kind, caring Catholic priest. Hoffman's youthful-sounding, straightforward narration is fitting for the story, unobtrusively enveloping the listener in Hadley's world. --Booklist for the In 27 Days Audiobook Booklist
