All Dylan Mint has ever wanted is to keep his Touretteβs in check and live life as a βnormalβ teenager. The swearing, the tics, the howling βdogβ that escapes when things are at their worstβnothing about Touretteβs makes it easy to meet cute girls or have normal friends (or many friends at all). But a routine hospital visit changes everythingβDylan overhears that he's going to die. In an attempt to claim the life heβs always wanted, he decides to grant himself parting wishes, or βCool Things To Do Before I Cack Itβ. In an intimate portrayal of life with Touretteβs, Dylanβs journey to come to terms with the disorder that has defined his life and his preconceptions about the world around him is hilarious, painful and, ultimately, utterly masterful.
