Death's a Bitch, (Paperback)

<b>What if you could make a deal with Death to save the life of someone you loved? With all the poignance and wit of Sally Rooney, and a plot as irresistibly outlandish as <i>My Sister, the Serial Killer</i>, twenty-two-year-old Eloise Rodger has delivered one of the year's boldest and most captivating debuts</b> <p><i>"Every night I checked on Marcie seven times before I went to sleep. Luckiest number there is, apparently. I looked into that kind of thing. Pressed my head into her mop of curly hair. Love you, mars. My very own planet. Where was my sister?" </i> </p><p><i>Death's A Bitch</i> follows eighteen-year-old Aggie in the quiet aftermath of a tragedy. Her little sister, Marcie, has been placed in a full-time psychiatric facility for a serious eating disorder. Now Aggie only gets to see her on Sundays in a room with stick-on flowers, padded table corners, and absolutely no shoelaces anywhere. </p><p>One evening, the Grim Reaper appears in the dim light of Aggie's bedroom and everything changes. Death is not a hooded man with a scythe--but an elegantly-dressed and frustrated mother. And she's got a favor to ask: if Aggie delivers on Death's unusual demands, Marcie will come home safely. So, there isn't much choice. She has to save her sister. </p><p><i>Death's a Bitch </i>is a Faustian tale with a Gen Z edge; a love story between two sisters; an exploration of loss, sickness and siblinghood; and a novel about growing up, letting go and learning to live with your mortality. A wickedly clever debut from a prodigiously gifted young writer.</p>
