Incarnate
by Jodi Meadows
Book 1 in Newsoul
Ana is a 'newsoul' in a world where everyone else has lived a thousand lifetimes - so she's the only person who's ever truly going to die, and her own mother treats her like a curse. The reincarnation worldbuilding is genuinely strange and lovely, and the slow-burn romance with Sam sneaks up on you.
