{ "item_title" : "Death's a Bitch", "item_author" : [" Eloise Rodger "], "item_description" : "With all the poignance and wit of Sally Rooney, and a plot as irresistibly outlandish as My Sister, the Serial Killer, twenty-two-year-old Eloise Rodger has delivered one of the year's boldest and most captivating debuts, an unforgettable novel about the unbreakable bond between two sisters and a deal with Death that might unravel both of their lives for good. A wildly imaginative romance, and a heartbreaking tale of sisterhood, Death's a Bitch is like nothing else I've read before--it will have you laughing out loud on one page and sobbing the next. --Kathryn Stockett, author of The Calamity Club Marcie had been gone for three weeks when I met Death. Eighteen-year-old Aggie should be spending her weekends pub-crawling through freshman year and secretly hating all her new friends. Instead, she's passing her Sundays in a room with stick-on flowers and padded table corners, visiting her younger sister, Marcie, who has been placed in a full-time psychiatric facility for a serious eating disorder. Aggie feels lost without her best friend, and she'd do anything for Marcie to get better. . . . Then, one evening, the Grim Reaper appears in the dim light of Aggie's bedroom--not a hooded man with a scythe but an elegantly dressed, impossibly frustrated mother. And she wants to make a deal. If Aggie delivers on Death's unusual demands, Marcie will come home safely. So, there isn't much choice. Aggie accepts. Death's a Bitch is a Faustian tale with a beating heart; a love story between two sisters; an exploration of loss, sickness and siblinghood; and a novel about growing up, letting go and learning to live with your mortality. It's a wickedly clever debut from a prodigiously gifted young writer that asks the ultimate question: how far would you go to save the life of someone you loved?", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/821/720/9798217208418_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "30.00", "online_price" : "30.00", "our_price" : "30.00", "club_price" : "30.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
