------------------------------------------------

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 brave. So, on what would have been her sister's 40th birthday, Poppy decides to do something wild 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 electric, shockingly real.

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

What happens when you fall in love with a lie?

Rezensionen

'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

'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

'Dandelion is Dead leads the charge in 2026's early offerings ... a literary entrance worth noting' Women.com, Our Most Anticipated Book Releases Of 2026
