If you are looking for a quick read that will leave you staring at your pet (or your phone) with a newfound sense of gratitude, this book is essential. It reminds us that while we might want to live forever, it is the things we are willing to die for that truly give our lives meaning.

What would you give up for one more day of life? Your favorite movie? Your phone? Your morning coffee?

Genki Kawamura, a prolific film producer (responsible for hits like Your Name ), brings a cinematic quality to his writing. The scenes are vivid, the dialogue is punchy, and the emotional beats are perfectly timed.
