That Time Everything Was on Fire (TTEWOF) is a debut novel about love, grief and friendship told through the lives of four millennial women. It warranted an eye-catching cover design that is bold yet intimate, to reflect the nuanced story within.
The hand painted oil illustration of a fist holding just-caught ‘kisses’ depicts the boisterous way the lead characters show love to one another—through the increasingly over the top throwing and catching of kisses.
