Welcome to a captivating exploration of contrasting lives in 'Things I'd Rather Do Than Die'. This engaging young adult novel by Christine Hurley Deriso dives deep into the unexpected friendship between two high school seniors, Jade Fulton and Ethan Garrett. While Ethan embodies the quintessential all-American dream—an athletic star dating the school’s most popular girl and strongly rooted in his Christian beliefs—Jade epitomizes individuality, preferring her own company, aloof towards the crowded social scene of their high school, and grappling with her agnostic beliefs.
Locked in an aerobics room overnight, Jade and Ethan are forced to break down the barriers created by their labels: jock, loner, Jesus freak, skeptic. As hours unwind in passionate debates, playful antics, and philosophical discussions, both students discover the complexities beyond their stereotypes. They forge an unexpected bond that challenges their preconceived notions of identity, friendship, and beliefs.
With 368 pages of stimulating narrative, this paperback edition boasts a compact size of 134 x 205 mm, making it perfect for readers on the go.

Jade Fulton and Ethan Garrett are opposites in every sense of the word. Ethan is an all-American poster boy--a star athlete dating the most popular girl in school and a devout Christian. Jade keeps mostly to herself. She abhors joining "things," hates everyone at their high school except her best friend, Gia, and considers herself agnostic. When Ethan and Jade find themselves locked in an aerobics room overnight, their confinement forces them to push past the labels they've given each other. Jock. Loner. Jesus freak. Skeptic. Golden boy. Intellectual. Amid hours of arguing, philosophizing, and silly game playing, Ethan and Jade learn there's a lot more to the other person than meets the eye. After that night, life returns to normal and each goes back to their regular lives. Still, neither one can shake the unexpected bond they formed and they can't help but question what they've been taught to believe, who they want to be, and where their hearts truly lie.
