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 Dandelionβs death, Poppy resurrects her sisterβs 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 β for one night only β 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.
