Jake has fallen head over heels for Dandelion. The only problem? Dandelion is dead.

I tore through it; as hilarious as it is heartfelt - CLAIRE DAVERLEY

Fans of Dolly Alderton and Nora Ephron will eat this up - LAURA HANKIN

Breathtakingly original - CLARE LESLIE HALL

Dazzlingly funny and devastating and life-affirming - ELLA BERMAN

A funny book about grief, an honest book about lying - JENNY JACKSON

A book as compulsive as Dandelion Is Dead has no business being this psychologically astute, this emotionally complex, this genuinely hot… One of the fiction debuts of the year - EMMA FORREST

Seven months after Dandelion’s death, Poppy resurrects her sister’s phone and finds a message from a man on a dating app. Jake.

Dandelion delighted in bad behaviour. She pushed Poppy to be daring. So, on what would have been her 40th birthday, Poppy decides to do something her sister would love, and – for one night only – she goes on a date as Dandelion.

Only, when Poppy meets Jake, they have unexpected chemistry. Thrillingly hot, confusing chemistry. They become tangled in deceit while discovering something shockingly real. What happens when you fall in love with a lie?

As a precarious dare spirals somewhere altogether more unexpected, Dandelion is Dead becomes a love story, a ballad of sisterhood, and an ode to bad behaviour.
