** spoiler alert ** A lovely take on young, powerful love, and how to deal with death. The first part of the book is a very sweet contemporary romance on Ashana meeting and falling in love with Poppy. Midway through the book, the genre changes to paranormal after Ashana dies and becomes a grim reaper. Tbh that’s the worst part of the book for me, because the world building elements are a bit too much for what I was used to. But once Ashana finds Poppy again, the tone switches back to that of a YA book, where this time, it’s way more than romance and exploring queer love. It’s about knowing your time with them won’t last, making full use of it, and coming to terms with the natural cycle of life. The ending also feels very wholesome. All in all, a really great read and a much needed reminder to love with all your heart.
