A swoony, funny, high-concept romance where a cosmic paperwork mistake turns into a second chance at the life you actually want. You’ll Be the Death of Me follows a chef on the brink of a society wedding who wakes up dead—and the charming, bumbling afterlife clerk who accidentally claimed the wrong soul and now has to fix it before it’s too late.

The vibe

Verdella “Dell” Rodgers has everything lined up: she’s chef de cuisine at San Francisco’s hottest new restaurant, and she’s a week away from marrying the mayor’s son in the social event of the season. Then she wakes up and finds herself… dead.

Enter Cole, an entry-level clerk in the Afterlife Administration spending eternity processing souls. In a catastrophic mix-up, he mistakes Dell for a 95-year-old woman in Kansas with the same name and claims the wrong soul. Now Dell is stuck walking the city as a ghost only visible to Cole, and the two of them have to race to undo his mistake.

As they scramble for a solution, Dell starts realizing her “perfect” life wasn’t what it looked like—especially when it comes to her fiancé and his high-profile family. Meanwhile, Cole has no memory of who he was before the Afterlife Administration, and their mission turns into something bigger: uncovering Cole’s past while fighting for Dell’s future. With time running out to get Dell back to the living, she’ll have to decide whether she wants the life she left behind… or the unexpected new path Cole is opening up.
