A well executed romcom that will have you feeling all sorts of feels throughout the story.

I absolutely loved reading it even though it was a bit predictable. The characters show growth through the story and are pretty easy to like. It's a perfect summer time romcom that will have you swooning, awwww-ing, and maybe even crying!

The story begins when Delphie dies after choking on a burger (yes, craaaazy). She meets a handsome man in heaven for a brief moment when the heaven management realizes that the guy wasn't meant to die. He returns to earth leaving Delphie to stay love-less for the rest of her afterlife.

However, Delphie is offered a deal to go back to earth and find the mystery man and kiss him! Delphie has lived her life in shadows and hiding her true self. Her miraculous return to earth changes her perspective leading to great character development. BUT, she has limited time and has to get a man to fall in love with her before she is called to the afterlife forever!

Do read for a fun experience!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange of an honest review.

I went into this book completely blind I was just drawn to the title and I’m so thrilled I got the chance to do this arc as I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

The premise was great with a refreshing twist as we have the countdown of Delphine being given 10 days to get a guy to kiss her but also the tension that if she doesn’t get this to happen it’s literally a matter of life and death!

I really enjoyed watching Delphine along the way discovering so much about her self and about how she sees life and wants to live it going forward.

I don’t want to say too much more or give away the tropes as the romance aspect was so well done and going in not knowing anything I feel is best. I will just say the tension was fab!

I loved all the little mentions of other romance authors and popular romance tropes dotted through the books too.

Definitely want to read more from this author now as this was my first by her.

I can’t recommend this book enough. Beautifully funny, painfully relatable, and just a general ‘feel good’ read! Don’t hesitate, just read it!

What a total delight. I can say having read a lot of romantic fiction that this is such a love letter to the genre and absolutely fab.

Total laugh out loud moments, with a sprinkling of pop culture (“you’re a virgin who can’t drive” - classic!), enough tropes to sink a ship and a good dash of spice too!

It’s a love story that doesn’t end the way it begins, with an epic twist at the end!

I always know I’m going to love a book if I’m already recommending to people halfway through!

This was the first Kirsty Greenwood novel I have read, and it will not be the last. This book is my favourite read of 2024 so far.
Ash Poston meets Emily Henry, The Love of my Afterlife is an adorable romance featuring many beloved tropes, written in a truly engaging and beautiful manner. I fell in love with the characters and their story. I would highly recommend!



Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this, despite a few clunky passages. It's a fun rom com, though I felt the end resolution was perhaps a bit convenient for me. Overall very enjoyable!

Loved the premise of this book, and it was a joyous read, No spoilers in saying there is a happy ending but I really enjoyed the twist. At times Delphie felt a bit too naive but was all the more interesting and likeable for it. I loved all of the characters, particularly Aled and Frida, and obviously Cooper. The time limit of 10 days set the really well. I finished this so quickly I wanted to jump back in and read it again, but I’ll save that for later.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book.

The Love of My Afterlife is DEAD brilliant! Hilarious, cute, sexy, deep and life-affirming, it will make you see the world through glad to be alive eyes.

I don't think I have laughed so much at a book in such a long time. THE LOVE OF MY AFTERLIFE was brilliantly hilarious but also super swoonworthy. I absolutely adored Delphie; she was so quirky and I just felt a connection with her. This is a definite must-read and going to be one of my favourite books of 2024.

The Love of My Afterlife follows Delphie who finds herself in the afterlife, where she discovers the love of her life, only to find him being returned to the land of the living. Delphie returns herself with the task of tracking him down and getting him to kiss her within ten days so she can stay alive!

The characters in the book are well-developed and endearing. The plot is engaging and seamlessly blends romance, humour, and the supernatural, making it a perfect choice for anyone looking for a light-hearted and entertaining read.
This was a fun and heartwarming novel.

Such a fun premise, one that I’ve not read before but could liken to The Good Place (tv show). It was hilarious in parts, easy reading, well rounded characters and many a story line troupe was mentioned/explored!
I did guess a main part but that didn’t spoil it, all in all I would highly recommend!
Thank you netgalley.

I really enjoyed this book I wasnt expecting to love the characters as much as I do. I don’t tend to read romance books but I really enjoyed this, I love the concept and the constant searching for love as well as the character dynamics. This book was so well written it felt like I was watching a rom com!

Thank you netgally for giving me this book to read :)

I absolutely blumming loved this book! Fun, fresh, funny and with a delightfully quirky heroine, Delphie……….. I could have devoured this in one sitting, but forced myself to slow down as I didn’t want it to end. The afterlife romcom to end all afterlife romcoms! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

‘The Love of my Afterlife’ by Kirsty Greenwood is a hilarious, heartwarming, trope-filled romance that puts a unique spin on happily ever after. The book begins with the unceremonious death of Delphie, who chokes on a microwavable burger alone in her flat after a day at work that was a carbon copy of all of her days prior. She ends up in Evermore where she meets Merritt, her perky afterlife therapist. After a pretty depressing flashback across her uneventful life, she meets the man of her dreams briefly before he is yanked back to the land of the living. Romance lover Merritt decides to send Delphie back to Earth with the promise that if she can track down the guy and get him to kiss her within ten days, she can stay alive!

I don’t want to spoil what comes next, so I will keep this review short and just tell you a couple of things I loved about this novel:
- Delphie is a quirky lead character, and I loved watching her release her inhibitions and interact with more people
- Merritt is melodramatic and hilarious and I adored her
- The strong theme of this novel is that even if a handful of people are trash (childhood bullies, narcissistic mother), most people are good and worth getting to know - and I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment

With sweetness, spice, plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and loveable characters galore, this was a five star read for me. I highly recommend it!

Thank you to Random House UK, Cornerstone and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advance Digital Review Copy of this fabulous book. All opinions are my own.

"Delphie has entered the afterlife wearing the sort of pyjamas you don’t want anyone to see..."

what an interesting story to read, and I loved every minute of it! definitely a concept that I haven't read before, but it did slightly remind me of a TV show I absolutely adored in the 2010s!

reading about her journey in the afterlife was so fun, and really interesting, but also uplifting, to think that life does go on even when you die choking on a hamburger! I loved that she got a second chance at love, something some of us can dream of, but it was really sweet to read!

some really great tropes in this story too, but my all time fave definitely being the found family trope! that trope will always get my heartstrings and heal something in me!

thank you so much Netgalley and Kirsty Greenwood for this arc!

Absolutely loved this. Literally made me LOL at times and the repartee between Cooper and Delphie I loved. Definitely going to read more from Kirsty Greenwood. Thanks to the author, the publisher and NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

📖 Review: This book was the true definition of a romcom! 💕

A heartwarming story centred around finding the full life you could have if you only picked up the courage to step out of your comfort zone 🫶🏻 as well as making the most of your life, even if your eyes are closed to what’s right in front of you.

Delphie is an amazing fmc. She seeks out a man she believes to be her true love after meeting him during a brief stint in the afterlife. He is also her only chance at escaping her previous fate ☁️.

Along the way, Delphie transforms from an isolated individual to someone who, when given a second chance at life, builds meaningful relationships, makes time for what she enjoys, takes risks and finds love. By the end of the book, all of the threads of her life both before and after death become weaved together in such a beautiful way 🤍

I LOVED the quirkiness of the characters!!💞

This book had me laughing aloud at parts whilst swallowing back the lump in my throat at other times. There were twists and turns, some I didn’t see coming and others I did, but either way they were perfect for the development of the story and the ending was everything I would have wanted!

A truly heartwarming and heartbreaking book of life, love, death and the afterlife! 🌈❤️‍🩹 Oh, and you’ll never look at a microwaveable burger the same way again! 🍔🧡

I really, really enjoyed this one. It throws you straight into the thick of things from the first page, with Delphie dying after choking on a microwavable burger. A visit to the afterlife and a romance obsessed front desk employee results in Delphie having a second chance at finding love and getting to live again. She'll quickly learn that maybe she had never really lived at all.
Incredibly life-affirming and restorative, this romcom had three of my favourite tropes - an oblivious heroine, found family and grumpy curmudgeon with a heart of gold. DELICIOUS!

I would like to firstly thank Random House UK , Cornerstone, Netgalley and Kirsty Greenwood for providing me with an advanced copy of ' the love of my afterlife '

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.

Due to be published in June , the synopsis of this new novel grabbed my attention straightaway . The book fast became my favourite read of the year so far and I was hooked from the first page until the last .

I smiled , laughed and relished in Delphine's mishaps and loved how the book brought together the importance of love , friendship and living your life to the fullest cherishing every moment.
Whilst I don't want to delve too much Into the storyline as it's definitely a book that should be read firsthand - I can definitely say that if you are looking for a light-hearted , contemporary and quirky read that is full of heart then this is the book for you . Who doesn't enjoy a beautifully written feel good romance.

‘The end of her life was just the beginning.’

The unique plot gathered my attention. I couldn’t stop reading this for 3 days, it was that good. Ended up bursting out laughing in quite a few places.

Delphie’s character building was great, from being independent to finding new family. I loved seeing her journey to find Jonah.

I definitely want to read some more of Kirsty Greenwood’s books now.

Thank you Netgalley, Kirsty Greenwood and the publisher for the arc!
