About the Book
"A recently deceased woman meets "the one" in the afterlife waiting room, scoring a second chance at life (and love!) if she can find him on earth before ten days are up... 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. As they start to chat, everything else becomes background noise. That is until someone comes running out of a door, yelling something about a huge mistake, and sends the dreamy stranger back down to earth. And here Delphie was thinking her luck might be different in the afterlife. When Delphie is offered a deal in which she can return to earth and reconnect with the mysterious stranger, she jumps at the opportunity to find her possible soulmate and a fresh start at life. But in a city of millions, Delphie is going to have to listen to her heart, learn to ask for help, and perhaps even see the magic in the life she's leaving behind..."--Book Synopsis

Review Quotes
"Kirsty Greenwood's The Love of My Afterlife is an utterly charming romcom that is as hilarious as it is poignant. Reading this book is like receiving a big hug from a dear friend."
--Carley Fortune, New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After "Confident and hilarious, I lost a whole day to it and I don't regret a second. Gave me The Good Place crossed with The Dead Romantics and The Ex Hex vibes, quirky and romantic and oh so gorgeously memorable - I only wish I'd written it first!"
--Josie Silver, New York Times bestselling author "If I died in the middle of reading The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood, I hope I'd have the wherewithal to bring it to the afterlife waiting room with me! I had the best time reading this book and NEEDED to know how everything was going to turn out for Delphie. I spent part of the book literally spit-laughing at the witty banter, surprising references, and hilarious hijinx Delphie got herself into; part of the book trying to figure out which side character I'd want to play in the adaptation; and part of the book charmed into a puddle on the floor. I'm going to be telling every person in my life to read this book."
--Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of Love in the Time of Serial Killers "I think the challenge in writing rom coms can be to have the laughs interspersed in a story that has real heart - Kirsty does this with aplomb."
--Sophie Cousens, New York Times bestselling author "The Love of My Afterlife is a gorgeously addictive romp of a romantic comedy, with added magic. I adored it."
--Clare Pooley, New York Times bestselling author of The Authenticity Project "I smiled throughout Kirsty Greenwood's delightful The Love of My Afterlife, cheering along at Delphie's mad-cap romp through London in search of a magic kiss that would, literally, give her another chance at life. An enchanting story of found family, laugh-out-loud chaos, the magic of discovering purpose, and a truly dreamy love story. I adored every page!"
--Uzma Jalaluddin, author of internationally bestselling Three Holidays and a Wedding "Nobody does smart, sexy, relatable romantic comedy like Kirsty Greenwood. The Love of My Afterlife made me cackle like a maniac, but it's packed with gut-punching raw emotion too, and so much beautiful truth. Reading it is like hanging out with your funniest and cleverest best friend - I never wanted it to end."
--Isabelle Broom

Are you kidding me with how much I adored this book?! I laughed so much and it's so deep and I cried too. It's one of those books you want to give a giant hug to when you're done. At its surface, it's a fun romance, sure — but it's so much more than that. It’s about the meaning of life and what it means to live. I just loved everything about it. I read it back to back with The Wedding People and they actually both gave me very similar vibes, and it's perfect for fans of The Good Place. Audio was great.
Love it!
