Omg I love how eye catching the cover was. The description has piqued my interest. I loved it so much. It kind of reminded me of the dead romantics vibes.

Quirky. Sweet. Fun.
What’s not cute or fun for Delphie is finding herself dead after choking on a hamburger and in some sort of weird afterlife that has her meeting a therapist of some kind who can send her back to life, if only she does her a favour.

Poor delphie gets sent back in hopes of finding the blue eyed gorgeous man she met in the afterworld. And she may need the help of her ultra-annoying neighbour Cooper.

Introvert, enemies to lovers, love story books dropped, and a little magical realism complete this fun book. I’ve seen it compared to Ashley Poston’s Dead Romantics but I think it’s lighter than that. More of a quick beach read.

Thank you to the publisher for a gifted copy in return for an honest review. It’s GMA’s Book club pick for this month so I have no doubt you’ll be seeing it on a lot of socials

I loved this book so much!! I loved the dead romantics and this reminded me so much of this! It was fun and romantic and exactly what I crave & love in a romance book!

Thoughts?
This story was filled with fascinating characters who are attributed to the rich narrative. The author’s wit and writing style made the book a delight to read. Delphie’s character growth was a major plus for me.

The underlying lessons about life was my favorite part about the book. Being bold and going for the life you want. Pushing yourself to grow and heal despite your past struggles. You only live one life, do not wait for the “perfect” time to wear that dress or treat yourself or follow that dream.

If you’re looking for a (deep) lighthearted, funny story, you will definitely love this.

It was difficult to read the e-arc in the format it was given but nevertheless it was a fun read( this was rectified, thank you!).

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House Canada for this e-arc.

What happens if you find your soulmate after you die? That's what happens to Delphie, fortunately she has been given 10 days to find him and kiss him or she dies again. The catch, he won't remember her.

What an intriguing premise this books has! Normally I'm not one for afterlife and revival but this book was adorable! The characters were loveable and you were really cheering them on as Delphie with the help of her grumpy neighbour helps her embark on a journey to find her soulmate and her second chance at life. A wonderful story of learning to live your life to the fullest. It is definitely a great beach read for this summer!

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy for review purposes.

I generally stay away from romances because the tropes are so strong and over used. I loved that this novel took those tropes and exploded them! The way Kirsty Greenwood handled them seemed almost meta.

This was an enjoyable, fun read and I would love to read more from this author.

The Love of My After Life by Kirsty Greenwood is a great fun read. The title and cover lead me to think this might be a book lacking substance. Just a fluffy read but you would be wrong to judge this book by the cover or title.

Delphie lives an isolated life. She works at the pharmacy across the street. She takes care of her elderly mute neighbour. That's about it. No friends. No outings. Keeps conversation to a minimum.

When she suddenly finds herself passed into the after life. As I said, she's never had much of a life to begin with but after she crosses paths with a hot guy she suddenly wants to live. Her after life therapist Merrit says she can continue on with life as long as she completes a challenge with 10 days. But she can't complete the challenge on her own - she's going to need some help.

I really enjoyed The Love of My After Life way more than I suspected. The characters were great and you couldn't help but cheer Delphie on. The ending had a wonderful surprise twist that I never saw coming. I would happily read a second book to hear how Delphie's new life is. This is my first Kirsty Greenwood book and I will certainly look for more of her novels.

This is my first Greenwood book and it is definitely not going to be my last. This book has comedy, character growth and I loved being a part of Delphie's adventure. This has all of my favorite tropes plus more. I really didn't know what to make of Delphie initially, but once I got to know her character, I felt empathy towards her and enjoyed the direction this novel took! Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for giving the opportunity to review this fabulous romcom.

This was such an amazing book with warm and humorous characters. I have never read a Kirsty Greenwood book before, and it definitely won't be my last.

The premise was so unique, clever, and refreshing with distinctively quirky characters. Delphine was a wonderful main character. She's hilarious and lovable, and her story after she was sent back was what grabbed my heart.

The name drop of books and authors, romance tropes, and magical realism with threads of found family all make up one of the best books I've read in a long time. It's much more than a romantic comedy it's also about finding your people and embracing life to the fullest. The chemistry and banter were amazing, and I wasn't expecting to love this book as much as I did.

You need to grab this book, which is released today. I promise you won't regret it.

Come back to your Re

I was ready to dislike this book. It’s super corny and cheesy, almost like a parody of a romance novel. But as I kept reading, I found myself completely entertained. Sure, the tropes are really in your face, but that’s the point, and it’s hilarious. Once I took the stick out of my ass, I really enjoyed it. I started caring about the characters and their outcomes. It’s a quick, light read, perfect for a break between heavier books or just life in general. It doesn’t take itself seriously but still has plenty of genuine charm and some spicy moments. I stayed up past my bedtime to finish it, and I have no regrets. If you’re up for living, laughing, and loving a little, give this one a read.

Thanks to Net Galley and Penguin Random House Canada for the eARC of this book!

Follow Delfie, a loner who gets a second chance at life, but with a catch: she must find Jonah, a guy she briefly met in the afterlife, and share a kiss within 10 days. With the help of her neighbor, who needs a fake girlfriend to keep his parents off his back, Delfie embarks on a heartwarming adventure across London. Along the way, she discovers the true meaning of friendship and really starts living.

I was completely hooked on Delfie’s journey and the lengths she goes to stay alive. I laughed, I cried, and I felt so connected to her character. This story is a beautiful reminder of the power of second chances and living life to the fullest. 🌟

I'd like to thank @netgalley, @penguinrandomca and the author for the eARC. 📚💛

ALL THE STARS! This book was *chef’s kiss* and I will forever recommend it.
It’s got all the tropes: enemies to lovers, love triangle, one bed, forced proximity etc.
The personal growth that Delphie has was just everything I wanted it to be. The conversations, relationships and all connections in this book were so realistic that it just sucks you right in.
This is one that will live in my head for a very long time.

This story touched a part of my soul and left feeling so much better than before I read it. It’s well written and easy to read. The characters are relatable, intriguing, captivating, intriguing, complex, wounded, and strong. My attention was captured from the first word until the very last. The reader will be able to relate to the main characters and their story.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A very British rom-com. A cute, quirky, engaging read. Unique plot idea and a little twisty, with a chaotic cast of characters.

Thank you to NetGalley and Viking for an advanced copy of the Love of My afterlife!

The book was fantastic, blending humor and romance with a touch of spice. It was a refreshing change from the mystery and thrillers I usually read.

I particularly liked the character Delphie. Unlike the typical bubbly characters in most romance novels, she was awkward and felt more real to me.

Thank you again for the advanced copy.

If you’re looking for a romance read to kick off the summer, The Love of my Afterlife should be a strong contender for that top spot. This one was a refreshing break from my predominantly horror reads lately. It’s funny, endearing and all around pretty adorable.

I enjoyed the genuine and believable banter between characters. I laughed out loud many times and overall this is just a feel good read. Delphie is such a relatable and engaging main character that I’d read a book about her painting a fence and I know it would be hilarious.

At some parts I did have trouble buying into the enemies to lovers trope because the characters just didn’t seem to be that compatible. However, they did grow on me as a couple and I was invested in them by the end.

Thank you to @netgalley and @penguinrandomca for access to an eARC of the novel in exchange for an honest review.

The Love of my Afterlife is out today! ✨

4⭐️

Thank you so much, Penguin Random House Canada and NetGalley, for this beautiful ARC.

This book snuck up on me. When I applied for it, I was into the idea and thought of the movie, Afterlife of the Party, and the show The Good Place. I loved both of them, and now I love this book. It's a simple but touching rom-com about finding yourself, dealing with grief, loneliness, letting go, finding your soulmate, bullying, and the emotional journey of these awesome characters that'll make you root for them.
It also felt like a love letter to the author's favorite stories with the little references here and there.

Here are my reasons why you should read this:

♡ Magical realism
♡ Heartwarming enemies-to-lovers
♡ Amazing chemistry
♡ The perfect cast of side characters
♡ A hint of the paranormal
♡ Emotional depth

This book was such a fun read! I loved the idea of finishing your love after you’ve already died. The characters were so well written while also being fun and quirky (I’m look at you Merritt). The plot was well paced and the character development of both main characters so great. Plus the ending!!! I was not expecting it to wrap up like that but man it was perfect. I will definitely check out her other books!

I don't even know what to say about this book except that I loved it so much!
It has been a long time since I last read a book basically in a day. I couldn't put it down. Sure I figured it our early on but that didn't change anything for me. I loved every single one of these characters. They made me laugh and cry and honestly just have a great time.

I highly recommend this book to everyone!

This was a delightful read that I was completely engrossed in over the course of a few days. I was really caught up in whether Jonah or Cooper was intended for Delphie. I cringed at the awkward things she had to do, smiled knowingly at the sparks with Cooper, had an aha moment when I figured out Merritt’s history and sighed with relief over the ending. I definitely loved the callouts to romance novels and musicals as a lover of both.

Despite having all the hallmarks of a romantic comedy, the story was ultimately about Delphie living life more thoroughly and moving past loneliness, bullying and parental abandonment more than the romance. Merritt confirms this near the end. It was fine that kissing Jonah was the catalyst for her to break out of her fortress, embark on new friendships and a relationship with Cooper, but kissing Jonah shouldn’t have been the deciding factor for her to remain alive. The author wrapped up the story nicely. My one gripe would be the importance given to Jonah.
