2 young adults meet in a cancer support group, only problem is, skye is the only one out of them both with terminal cancer. In fact Calvin doesn't have cancer at all, or any disease for that matter, he is just a hyperchondriac. Naturally in true movie form Skye does not know about this and the 2 hit it off. Calvin agrees to help Skye with her 'to die list', her own version of a bucket list.
I felt the character of Izzy (Calvin's s crush) was out of place, there was only supposed to be a 3 year age gap but she looks so much older than him, making their dating scenes a very weird viewing in fact it would have been better without their dating scenes.
I did enjoy watching Skye and Calvin's friendship develop though, it was not often someone with such a strong personality would become best friends with someone who was the complete opposite. It also made a change from 2 main characters falling in love.
