Summary
Some people have soulmates, though most never know it—unless they come close to death. In those moments, visions of a stranger’s life flicker at the edges of consciousness, binding two souls by something deeper than fate. Eddie Diaz learns this the hard way, stranded and bleeding in Afghanistan, haunted by glimpses of a young firefighter in Los Angeles. As he clings to life, their worlds collide in ways neither can explain. Soulmates aren’t always romantic, but sometimes, when the line between life and death blurs, they might become something more.
Evan Buckley always craved knowing he was wanted. Plenty of movies and books promoted soulmates as an attainable finding of the other half of one's soul. Self-destructive as a teenager, Evan "Buck" Buckley believes his fate is to wander through life unwanted and unloved- until he meets Abby, who confesses she was drawn to him from the moment she saw him after a call. Could she be his soulmate? The only real way to know is a near-death experience. As he chokes on their first date, Buck has his answer- he does have a soulmate, but it's not the woman in front of him.
