ABOUT

After a car accident, seventeen-year-old Zoe Hart wakes up at a diner for souls caught between life and death. Now, Zoe has seven meals--seven chances--to fix her greatest regret...or her death becomes permanent. An astonishing debut about love, loss, and learning to live again.

Seven meals. One regret. A lifetime to lose.

Seventeen-year-old Zoe Hart is dying. In seven and a half minutes, her heart will stop beating and paramedics will find her and her sister at the scene of a car crash.

Right now, though, Zoe is in a diner. Schrodinger's Diner to be exact. A place that serves souls who are neither dead nor alive. Zoe is handed a menu with seven dishes, each one with the power to take her back in time. The deal is simple: undo her greatest regret before her final dish is served, and Zoe gets to live. Fail, however, and the fog beyond the diner awaits.

The choice seems obvious. Who wouldn't want a taste at a second chance? But there's no telling what memories the menu holds. And some secrets Zoe has spent a lifetime trying to forget.

You've Found Oliver meets They Both Die at the End in a stunning debut about facing your past to have a shot at a future.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
