When she was just a baby, she was diagnosed with Progeria, a rare disease that causes her body to age at roughly ten times the normal rate. Now nearly sixteen years old, Agnes has already exceeded her life expectancy. <p/><b>Moira </b>has been Agnes's best friend and protector since they were in elementary school. Due to her disorder, Agnes is still physically small, but Moira is big. Too big for her own liking. So big that people call her names. With her goth makeup and all-black clothes, Moira acts like she doesn't care. But she does. <p/><b>Boone</b> was friends with both girls in the past, but that was a long time ago--before he did the thing that turned Agnes and Moira against him, before his dad died, before his mom got too sad to leave the house. <p/>An unexpected event brings Agnes and Moira back together with Boone, but when romantic feelings start to develop, the trio's friendship is put to the test. <p/><i>100 Days</i> by Nicole McInnes is a compelling YA novel that manages to blend just the right combination of heartbreak, humor, tragedy and friendship.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Three misfits whose friendship fell apart in the sixth grade rediscover their bond in high school.
