It took me a little bit to become fully invested in this story, but once I was, my goodness it was good!
I found it a little bit rambly in the beginning and unsure how I would settle into it, but Cherry became so intriguing and I loved her relationship with Mum and Aunty Pat. Eve and Dom's initial prediction is what hooked me though…
I listened on audible and the reading was awesome!
I also enjoyed all of Cherry’s pop culture references: Ed Sheeran and Pink were funny additions, and added to her quirkiness.

Listened to this on audio. This kept me engaged and I guessed some parts but there were connections and turns I didn’t guess. I wish they would have given us a little bit more closure on some of the story lines but overall I really liked it and it was an intriguing story!!

Starting the year off strong! I almost reconsidered giving this a full 5 stars but I really couldn’t think of a good reason to mark it any less. It hooked me from the start and was fairly easy to follow. Nothing was overly predictable or confusing. At times I found it a little hard to remember each character mentioned but that was more due to me trying to multitask. This was an easy read that kept me interested the whole way through. I loved the way the author tied things together and wrapped up the story. All in all, it was a winner and I would definitely recommend it. Possibly even re-read it one day which isn’t something I typically do.

The exploration of what humans do if they know their time on Earth is limited was really fascinating, and sometimes very emotional! I enjoyed many of the characters and their individual stories, but found it hard to keep some of them straight. This could be because of the length of the book and the many different times I sat down to read. I grew to really feel for Cherry (the Death Lady.) Learning more about her backstory and all the trauma and grief she’s lived through really helped to understand her actions. The story wrapped up nicely and tied many characters and subplots together.

This was very interesting, it kept me intrigued until the very end.
I really liked how certain characters, like Leo's mum, knew cherry, or Paula's friend was the daughter of cherry's best friend. I also really felt the emotions of cherry and her loses and I found the whole prediction to actuary plot line was compelling and quite logical!
