About this listen

A unique, unforgettable and tragically romantic YA debut, perfect for readers of If He Had Been With Me, They Both Die at the End and A Thousand Boy Kisses.

72 hours before someone dies, Sydney Hoffman sees a pink neon countdown clock over their head. Seeing death’s status updates in real time without being able to do anything has left Syd closed-off, cynical and alone.

Then she meets Peter Beckett. Outgoing, optimistic and annoyingly gorgeous, Peter convinces Syd to wander NYC, looking for pink clocks and helping strangers live their best final hours.

As they grow closer, Syd starts to believe that maybe she can let go of the past and have a future instead. Until the universe shows her the one clock she can’t ignore …

Critic reviews

"Will break your heart, then tenderly put it back together.”

Chatham Greenfield, author of Time and Time AgainA Reese Witherspoon Book Club LitUp Pick

“If you’re looking for a book to rip your heart out while loving every second of the pain—this is it. This is a story you’ll root for and a book you’ll toss across the room, then run to retrieve it to see how it ends. Riveting, addicting, and excruciatingly beautiful to the very end—Schramm has created a future classic.”

DeAndra Davis, William C. Morris Award winning author of All the Noise at Once

“Choke-on-your-drink funny, stomp-on-your-heart tragic and without doubt one of the best debuts I’ve ever read.”

Clare Edge, author of Natural Selection

"Books like this don’t come around very often. Poignant, laugh-out-loud funny, and utterly heart-wrenching, 72 Hours of You is the kind of captivating book that every YA reader is thrilled to discover. An absolute knockout of a debut." – Eva Des Lauriers, author of I Wish You Would

"Heartwarming and devastating all at once, 72 HOURS OF YOU will keep you turning the pages with a racing pulse. Sydney and Peter's story is a beautiful ode to optimism, love, and learning how to let go. " – Tashie Bhuiyan, author of I'll Pretend You're Mine
