Ten Birthdays

*Winner of the Romantic Novelists' Association Young Adult Novel of the Year 2018*

"There are going to be so many things I wish I could’ve told you in person, Poppy. I won’t get the chance to do that, so perhaps this is my only way…"

It’s Poppy Kinsey’s birthday.

She should be blowing out candles and opening presents – but hers falls on the type of heart-wrenching, agonising anniversary she would far rather forget.

The worst day of them all. The day her mother died.

But this year is special because the person she misses most in the world has left her a set of letters, one for each of her next ten birthdays.

As Poppy opens them year by year, she discovers that no matter how tough life gets, her mum will always be by her side, guiding her along the way.

Nu voi avea ocazia sa fac asta, asa ca poate ca aceasta este singura mea cale ... "Este ziua lui Poppy Kinsey. Ar trebui sa sufle lumanari si sa deschida cadouri - dar a ei cade pe tipul de aniversare dureroasa si dureroasa pe care ar uita-o mai degraba. Cea mai rea zi din toate.
