Oh my GODS this book is amazing. The perfect sapphic story to read for pride month I am so glad I picked this one up. I laughed, I cried, I had an existential crisis. Poppy and Ash’s story is amazing to watch unfold, you feel every part of the journey with them. Well done Tanya Byrne, you should be very proud of this I commend you.

This was a really cool concept for a story. But I think it would have been much more interesting if the romance was not the main plot line.

The book focuses around a young girl who has died and is now a reaper, so there is a heavy focus on grief, loss of loved ones, and death
