I listened to this as an audio book and loved the narration. There are two narrators, Caroline Lee and Geraldine Hakewill, and I thought they both did a wonderful job bringing all the characters to life.
The main character, Cherry, is such a delightfully quirky individual. Known as the 'death lady,' she gains this nickname after she suddenly stands up in the middle of a flight and gives each passenger a prediction of how and when they will die. The story then alternates between Cherry and the passengers from the flight.
There are quite a few characters to keep track of, and it can get a little confusing at times going back and forth between them all. After the flight lands and everyone returns to their lives, one by one, Cherry's predictions begin to come true. The story explores how each person who received a prediction deals with the news in their own way.
The first half of the book was a little slow for me, but once the predictions started coming true, it got more and more interesting. Overall, I thought this book was incredibly unique, and Cherry is such a fascinating character. She reveals the story of her life, and by the end, everything falls into place and makes sense.
