The Love of My Afterlife is a contemporary romantic comedy with a supernatural twist.

After twenty-something Delphie chokes on a microwaveable hamburger alone in her apartment, she finds herself in an afterlife waiting room. She’s just beginning to accept that she’s dead with the help of her “Afterlife Therapist” Merritt when a gorgeous man (Jonah) with whom she has instant chemistry pops into the waiting room with her. But he’s just visiting, as his body is back in London, alive but under anesthesia. Delphie is able to negotiate a deal with Merritt using a loophole to go back to Earth. Merritt’s terms are a ten-day quest to get a voluntary kiss from Jonah; only then can she stay on Earth. But even after returning to her apartment alive, she realizes that finding a man named Jonah in London is harder than it sounds, and Delphie needs the help of her grouchy downstairs neighbor (Cooper) to get some leads. Delphie spends the next ten days running all over London, pushing herself out of her comfort zones, and building connections with her neighborhood to find Jonah.

This is a cute and romantic story about how you can find yourself when you are supposed to be looking for someone else. After relentless bullying from a former friend and abandonment by her parents, Delphie is alone in the world but unable to recognize the opportunities around her. I actually found myself laughing out loud at some of her antics, and I loved the chemistry between her and Cooper.

I really enjoyed this one and look forward to more books by Kirsty Greenwood.
