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.

Reviews

'Wildly entertaining and crackling with life. I tore through it; it’s as hilarious as it is heartfelt and sharply captures the chaos of grief' Claire Daverley, author of Talking at Night 'Dandelion is Dead is breathtakingly original. A brilliant premise, smart, funny and heartbreaking in equal measure. I adored it' Clare Leslie Hall, author of Broken Country 'Unputdownable… compulsively readable' Cosmopolitan 'Definitely one to watch' Elle 'A book as compulsive as Dandelion Is Dead has no business being this psychologically astute, this emotionally complex, this genuinely hot, nor need it glitter with such elegant prose – without these abundant gifts, you’d still be tearing through the pages to see how it all ends. But then it wouldn’t have been written by Rosie Storey, and it wouldn’t be one of the fiction debuts of the year' Emma Forrest, author of Father Figure 'A funny book about grief, an honest book about lying, and a heartbreaking book about finding love, Dandelion is Dead is captivating, generous, and deeply alive' Jenny Jackson, author of Pineapple Street 'Captivating, wise, and messy in the best possible way … Fans of Dolly Alderton and Nora Ephron will eat this up' Laura Hankin, author of One-Star Romance 'From the first sentence, Dandelion is Dead is magic. Storey’s thrilling dialogue and acute observations are punctuated by moments that will crack your heart open. It’s dazzlingly funny and devastating and life-affirming. A story about the turbulence of grief, yes, but also an elegy to love in all its forms' Ella Berman, author of Before We Were Innocent 'A blazing firework of a novel … Tender, wise, and very funny, Storey writes like a lovechild of Nora Ephron and Emily Dickinson. Basically, I'm jealous' Morgan Dick, author of Favourite Daughter 'Deception, death and desire converge … this tale of both romantic and sisterly love seamlessly combines humour and heartbreak' People Expand reviews
