A Million Billion Pieces

"It's time to make every moment count. Sixteen-year-olds Pria and Theo--or as they know each other online, the aspiring opera singer PriaSoprano and outer-space aficionado Eagle19--have decided to have sex. There's just one catch... they both have life-threatening genetic disorders that may cause them to explode from one another's touch. But they won't know what will happen until they try. Sick of being told what to do their whole lives, they rebel against their reality and meet at a motel. But while Pria is more or less accepting of her fate, Theo has hopes for the future, and what was planned as a simple meeting becomes much more intimate as they open up about their experiences. The fate of their lives comes down to one decision... This teen romance space opera explores our willingness to live, what it means to belong, and the necessity of emotional and physical relationships."--
