 The Love of My Afterlife

by

Kirsty Greenwood


If she wasn’t dead already, Delphie would be dying of embarrassment. She’s entered the afterlife wearing the sort of pyjamas you don’t want anyone to see and finds herself face-to-face with the most handsome man she’s ever encountered. And he’s smiling at her.

As they start to chat, everything else becomes background noise – until someone comes running out of a door, yelling something about a huge mistake, and sends the dreamy stranger back down to earth.

In a twist of fate, Delphie is offered a deal in which she can return to her previous life and reconnect with the mysterious man she’s sure is her soulmate.

The challenge? She only has ten days to find him.

Ten days to make him fall for her.

Oh, and he has no recollection of them ever having met…

REVIEW
After choking on a microwave burger, Delphie finds she has entered the afterlife. Apart from being devastated by finding out she is dead, she has to deal with Merrit, who is an afterlife advisor and helps all the new "deads" come to terms with their fate. A lover of romantic fiction, Merrit sees that Delphie is attracted to another newbie, but he is sent back to the living and Merrit sets Delphie a challenge - to find the handsome stranger and get him to kiss her within ten days back on earth, or she will be sent back to Evermore for all eternity...

When Delphie is sent back to earth, she sets out to find her "soul mate", but a series of events leaves time running out for her. She also has to deal with her neighbour Cooper who she is not sure whether she hates with a passion, or actually passionately fancies!

I loved this book and couldn't put it down. I read it on holiday and actually laughed out loud several times! It has it all, I was laughing one minute and had a tear in my eye the next. Great characters that I loved. Would thoroughly recommend this book.
