The Love of My Afterlife

I just finished The Love of my Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood and here are my thoughts.

The afterlife isn't what it is cracked up to be but when Delphie arrives, she meets a stranger and they connect in the best way. Trouble is, he wasn't there to stay so when Delphie is offered the chance to return to earth to find him, she jumps at the chance. Trouble is, she doesn't really have anything to go on and the clock is ticking.

This book was great! I found it funny and uplifting in that self deprecating way. I loved how clever the plot was and it was so well written. Delphie is my favorite kind of MC. She is quiet and thoughtful and she doesn't have a lot of people in her life but when she connects, she connects hard. I found the way she and Cooper connected was really special and they healed each other in the best possible ways and he really helped her become something more.

I thought the rom-commy vibes were so cute and so funny! There were some pretty epic mishaps and some of the situations she got herself in. LOL!!! I laughed a lot and I felt my heart ache too. She is super relatable and that is a huge part of why I loved the book.

I didn't like that she was a virgin, I felt that was cringey (I hate that word but it fits) and she supposedly falls for a guy within moments of meeting and goes back to earth to find him. It was a bit much! She needed more time with him for it to not feel so forced and inexperienced over virgin would have been better. It was the only thing I did not like.

Great book if you love rom-coms!
