SEVEN DISHES BEFORE FOREVER

SEVEN DISHES BEFORE FOREVER

The heart-wrenching, unmissable YA debut from Kate Emilie.

‘Your menu is personalised to you, your time here, and your regret. No modifications or substitutions. You get what you are served; should you choose to eat it is another matter.’

Seventeen-year-old Zoe Hart is running out of time. In a retro diner suspended between life and death, she’s handed a menu of seven dishes. Each one is a chance to revisit her past. Each one is a chance to change her future. The full menu offers the chance to save her life.

The unforgettable next read for those who loved Before the Coffee Gets Cold and They Both Die at the End.
