Sugar Crash

Q: If you were stranded on a deserted island, how would you survive?

A: I wouldn't.

Zoe Harmon doesn't remember what life was like before she had type one diabetes. Her insulin pump feels like a body part now--just one she has to think about a little more than she thinks about her kidneys or her liver. Yeah, it's annoying sometimes, but it sure beats being dead. When she begrudgingly accepts a ride to a school camp from her former best friend, Vic Niels, a crash sends them flying off a remote mountain road. Stranded without her phone or insulin, Zoe is forced to team up with Vic in order to save her own life. And his. Twenty-four hours stuck with Vic? Fine. But twenty-four hours without insulin? This could get deadly.
