Do something that scares you at least once a day, and you’ll find the strength to do even more.
These are the words Sole finds in the letter her best friend wrote just before leaving for Paris—right after the only argument they ever had. It was an argument Sole would forever regret, for she would never see Stella again. Sole keeps returning to that piece of paper because nothing is harder for her than overcoming her fears. She knows that holding onto them means playing it safe. It means keeping the secure job instead of her dream university and never sharing a first kiss because imagining it in the pages of a book feels less dangerous than experiencing it for real.
But now, Sole can wait no longer. She owes it to her friend. So, for one hundred days, she confronts one fear at a time, from skydiving to riding a roller coaster; from walking through the woods under a starry sky to traveling alone in Paris. Day by day, she discovers the thrill of the unexpected and the rush of adrenaline that makes her heart race.
By her side is Samanta, a teenager at odds with the world who is afraid even of her own reflection. Seeing herself in the girl, Sole tries to help her shake off her insecurities and teaches what she learned about overcoming fears. But there is one single moment Sole isn’t ready to face yet—it is the hardest challenge of all. She must confess the truth to the boy she has always loved. And for true love, she must be willing to put herself out there.
For once, I wish you would try to let go—to not be afraid of failure, to not say “no”, and to do what you truly want.
