funny hopeful sad medium-paced

4.0

A wonderfully fresh and original debut from Jenny Morris. 

Thea is just an ordinary person – until she gains the ability to see how long someone has left to live. But then she discovers something even more shocking: she can take years/months/days from one person and gift them to another. As she experiments with her newfound power, her choices seem justifiable at first, but she soon realises that morality isn’t as clear-cut as she thought. She gave me Light Yagami vibes. Like π˜‹π˜¦π˜’π˜΅π˜© π˜•π˜°π˜΅π˜¦, Thea finds herself wielding immense power over life and death as the line between good intentions and dangerous obsession blurs. Is Thea truly saving lives, or is she inadvertently becoming a serial killer?

With a clever plot full of unexpected twists and an ending that will stay with you long after you close the book, this witty debut thriller will have you questioning mortality and leave you wondering – what would you do in Thea's place?

Thank you to the Likely Suspects for the proof and Random Things Tours for the eARC in order to take part on the tour.
