How would you live your life differently, if you knew how much time you had left?  How would that knowledge affect you personally and society as a whole?  At times scary and disturbing, but also uplifting and hopeful, this is a great read.  Perfect for those who loved The Midnight Library.

Wow.  First, you're reading a satire of an upper middle class Brooklyn family on vacation, then it becomes something else when a couple knocks on the door of their air bnb in the middle of the night, claiming to be the owners, then it becomes something even more disturbing, and you've read all 241 pages without being able to put it down!
