Verdella ‘Dell’ Rodgers is at the top of her game. As the chef de cuisine at San Francisco’s hottest new restaurant and on the cusp of marrying the mayor’s son in the social event of the season, her life is perfect. That is until the week before her wedding when she wakes up very much dead.
Enter Cole, a charming but bumbling entry-level clerk in the Afterlife Administration who accidentally confuses Dell for a 95-year-old woman in Kansas with the same name, reaping the wrong soul. When Cole tries to fix his mistake, their worlds collide in life-and death-changing ways.
Now walking the city as a ghost only visible to Cole, Dell is frantic to get back to her perfect life but soon learns that maybe it wasn’t what it appeared to be…
With time running out to bring Dell back to the land of the living, she’ll have to decide if the life she left behind is truly what she wants, or if Cole’s untimely appearance could lead to an unexpected change that she didn’t know she needed.

Reviews
You'll Be the Death of Me is a whimsical romp through the afterlife: a story of both the love we're fated to find, and the ride-or-die friends who remind us our happiness is the ultimate measure of success. With Holly Michelle's magical touch, even death - with its unique power to make us confront our biggest mistakes and deepest longings - feels lighthearted and full of hope. Dell and Cole's love story will haunt you in the very best way.
You'll Be the Death of Me asks big questions about risk, fate, and death without ever losing its zest for life. It's clever, zany, and wonderfully optimistic-and you won't be able to turn pages fast enough to figure out how Dell and Cole's love story ends.
Witty, emotional and utterly delightful, Michelle takes you on a whirlwind adventure that is full of heart. Beyond the addicting otherworldly escapades, Dell's journey of self discovery hits you right in the feels.
