About this book

Delphie’s life ends in the most mortifying way imaginable: choking on a microwaveable burger. Her transition to the afterlife takes an unexpected turn when she encounters a captivating stranger in the waiting room—a man who feels like the soulmate she never found in the living world. Their brief, electric connection is cut short by a clerical error in the cosmic bureaucracy, sending the man back to Earth and leaving Delphie stranded in eternity.

Determined to reunite with the person who made her dead life worth living, Delphie strikes a desperate bargain. She is granted ten days to return to the land of the living to track him down, sight unseen, in a sprawling city of millions. As she navigates the surreal challenge of a temporary second chance, she must confront the regrets of her past and the limitations of her newfound existence.

This high-stakes scavenger hunt forces Delphie to look beyond the surface of her own life, discovering that true magic lies in the connections we forge. With time ticking away, she must decide if finding her soulmate is worth the price of letting go of the life she once took for granted.

An unforgettable journey that reminds us that love and laughter are eternal, even in the afterlife.

"The Love of My Afterlife by Kristy Greenwood is a delightful and heartwarming paranormal romcom that sweeps readers off their feet with its witty banter, irresistible charm, and emotional depth—this delightful journey is as amusing as it is touching. Filled with humor, self-reflection, and a deep exploration of love, forgiveness, and the possibility of finding happiness even after death, the story delves into finding happiness beyond death. “Dying was the easy part. It’s the afterlife that’s the real pain in the arse” —hilarious, relatable, and refreshingly unique. The emotional weight of the story comes through as Lucy and Max delve into their past, trying to make peace with their unfinished business. “Sometimes, it takes death to finally realize what’s worth living for.” —how love can transcend even the greatest of boundaries and how second chances, no matter how improbable, can still lead to profound change. Overall, The Love of My Afterlife is an unforgettable journey that reminds us that love and laughter are eternal, even in the afterlife. With its strong characters, witty dialogue, and heartwarming message, this book is a must-read for fans of paranormal romance comedies and anyone who enjoys stories of love that outlast time itself.

Such a feel good book with unique characters

"The setup for this story is perfectly straightforward: Delphie chokes on a burger, dies, and meets an incredibly handsome stranger in the Afterlife who seems to fall for her at first glance. Unfortunately, his death is a mistake and he's whisked back to Earth. If Delphie can find him and get him to kiss her in ten days, she can have the life of her dreams. Simple, right? Sure, if they were two castaways on a desert island. Not so easy in a metropolis of millions. There are so many things I enjoyed about this book. It's set in London, it's humorous, and it's hard to beat British humor. The opening death scene is hilarious, complete with a practical rundown of all the embarrassing details surrounding her last moments-no dignity here, please. The fact that there are two (not just one) dreamy men involved. The wonderful transformation of Delphie, who does (somehow) manage to find the magic in her life. And the many mentions and plugs for romance stories (because who doesn't love a good romance). The cast of characters is delightful and often unique. I love that Delphie is not a "strong" female but a lonely person who leads a quiet life, and yet she's likeable and relatable and so much fun to read about. Get ready for a heartwarming tale that will have you feeling all the feels and cheering for everyone along the way. ["
