Afterlove by Tanya Byrne

In this powerful, all-encompassing YA love story, a girl who becomes a
grim reaper must figure out what the future holds - especially when it
comes to the girlfriend she left behind.
When Ashana Persaud meets Poppy Morgan on a school trip, she's sure it's
too good to be true. Ash has never had much luck with girls, but Poppy proves
different. Coffee dates turn to museum trips until, soon, the two girls can see a
future together - one that's seemingly snatched from them when a hit-and-run
takes Ash's life on New Year's Eve.
As the last person to die before midnight, Ash is bestowed the title of reaper,
tasked with finding lost souls and helping them cross over. Only those close to
death can perceive a reaper, so when Ash runs into Poppy one lonely night -
and Poppy recognizes her - they can't be sure if it's the second chance
they've so desperately wished for, or a tragedy lying in wait.
A heartfelt and emotional queer romance with a fresh paranormal twist." -
