It's 2067, Florida's partially underwater, and Hannah is ready to celebrate her upcoming death. She lives in the Palm Meridian Retirement Resort, an upbeat world of queer women who haven't let old age slow them down at all, and when she learns that she has terminal cancer, Hannah decides to celebrate and face death on her own terms. However, she can't have a party without some bittersweet memories, especially when her longtime business partner shows up to the party... but the long lost love of her life doesn't. Told in alternating chapters between the day of the party and flashbacks to Hannah's younger days, we get a good look at Hannah's complicated relationships with her friends and loved ones, and why she might want them around in her last day on Earth. It's funny, it's moving, it's bittersweet, it's a lovely book.
