Description:
It''s a totally unassuming Tuesday when Aggie''s little sister Marcie - her favourite person, her especially made best friend - is admitted to hospital, prepared for a long stay with a bag of her softest things. It is a day Aggie has dreaded and longed for. Like crows need wings, like planets have moons, when it comes to Marcie, there''s nothing she wouldn''t do.
So when Death - red-lipped, feline-eyed and chignoned-to-perfection - appears in her bedroom ready to strike a deal, Aggie doesn''t have much of a choice.
Seduce the grim reaper''s son, then break his heart.
Aggie hasn''t so much as kissed a boy, but when Aeron turns out to be endearingly self-conscious, surely the fact that he is someone who Aggie might actually want to kiss will only make it easier? What could go wrong?
Readers loved Death''s a Bitch:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ''Heartfelt and precious - first love, and first heartbreak - the lifelong bond between sisters. I laughed out loud just as much as I cried!!!''
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ''[I was] absolutely unprepared for how deeply this book would get under my skin . . . sharp, strange, funny, devastating, and so full of heart''
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ''Stunningly hilarious and heartbreaking all in one''
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ''Basically a cult classic romcom in book form. PERFECTLY scratched my itch for romance while still being well written. I am upset there is no second book (!!??!!?!!!)''

Review quote: previous edition:
Eloise Rodger is a breathtakingly great writer, and I bet that if you read Death''s a Bitch you''ll be her fan for life, too-and possibly longer. What a wild joyride, and what a wrenching descent and return. Rodger''s sentences are spring-loaded with invention, and the grief and the love here feel almost unbearably real
