Dandelion is Dead

On what would have been Dandelion’s fortieth birthday, Poppy finds herself in her sister’s empty apartment weeping, remembering and impulsively looking at her sister’s messages. A dating app on her late sister’s phone is flooded with responses. Well, of course it was. Dandelion was beautiful, outrageous — one of a kind. Poppy cannot resist responding to a guy named Jake. What begins as text flirting, an innocent foray in the memory of her beloved, turns into an actual date. And Poppy cannot resist taking on Dandelion’s persona for just one evening. Surprisingly, one night leads to many and as Dandelion literally fills her sister’s shoes she finds she likes Poppy better as Dandelion. She can be everything she always admired and envied, a childhood spent in the shadows wishing she could be more like her big sister. The chemistry between Jake and Poppy is undeniable but once this charade becomes a full blown mess she cannot find the right words to reveal herself. Throw in a badass friend named Jetta who teaches Poppy she can be both fearless and devoted and this London love story becomes a brutally honest life lesson. Releases January 13, 2026. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
