If she wasn’t dead already, Delphie would be dying of embarrassment. Not only did she just die by choking on a microwaveable burger, but now she’s standing in her ‘shine like a star’ nightie in front of the hottest man she’s ever seen. And he’s smiling at her. As they start to chat, everything else becomes background noise. That is until someone comes running out of a door, yelling something about a huge mistake, and sends the dreamy stranger back down to earth. And here Delphie was thinking her luck might be different in the afterlife. When Delphie is offered a deal in which she can return to earth and reconnect with the mysterious stranger, she jumps at the opportunity to find her possible soulmate and a fresh start at life. But in a city of millions, Delphie is going to have to listen to her heart, learn to ask for help, and perhaps even see the magic in the life she’s leaving behind…
This was a delightful blend of romance, humor, and the supernatural. Delphie’s journey isn’t just about finding love and pursuing her ‘happily ever after’, it’s also about discovering her love for life itself and all the joys that come with letting people in. Yes, I wanted to shake her for a good half or so of the book and tell her to stop being so darn grumpy, but she wasn’t that way without reason, and seeing her evolution as a character was worth the patience. If you enjoy a funny, heartwarming enemies to lovers story with a brilliant cast of side characters, great chemistry, a satisfying story arc and a decent amount of emotional depth involving grief, bullying, loneliness, caring for the elderly, and setting healthy boundaries, this is well worth a look!
I rated this novel four stars. One of the standout elements of Love of My Afterlife is its exploration of love and loss. The emotional depth of the story adds a layer of complexity that enriches the reading experience. Overall, Love of My Afterlife is a charming and imaginative novel that stands out in the realm of afterlife fiction. Kirsty Greenwood’s unique voice and engaging storytelling make this book a must-read for fans of romantic comedies with a supernatural twist. Whether you’re looking for a lighthearted escape or a thoughtful exploration of love and loss, this novel is sure to captivate and entertain.
