Poppy’s sister has been dead seven months when she decides to tell the lie.
It’s not supposed to hurt anyone. She just wants to do something Dandelion would have found funny, and feel a little more alive herself.
But lies spiral, lust blooms and grief keeps crashing the party.
When Poppy meets Jake, can one act of deceit spark something unexpectedly real?
