Seventeen-year-old Gabe Tucker has a plan for life—student body president at Brigham Young University, serving a two-year mission, attending a top-tier law school, and from there, a clerkship in Washington, DC, a career in public policy—even elected office! The only thing standing in his way? He’s unexceptional. But he’s certain everything will change as soon as he takes hold of the self-discipline that remains elusively out of his reach.

Chloé captivates him the moment he encounters her. Her big dreams and the self-directedness to make them come true convince him that she is his future. The other half that makes him whole.
Until she breaks his heart. Or did he break hers?

Now, as he reports for two months of grueling preparation for his two-year LDS mission, Gabe must face and fix the mistakes of his past to reclaim his future and find his way back to the girl he loves.

A Song Before I Go is a lyrical and poignant coming-of-age story of love, heartbreak, and redemption. The pages are filled with banter and simmering sexual desire, delivered by some of the quirkiest and most endearing characters in fiction.
