Week 35 Review: The Love of My Afterlife

From Goodreads:

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…

My Review:
I had a fantastic time reading this book! The idea of meeting that perfect someone-but meeting them when you just died, and it turns out that they were mistakenly there, yeah, loved it! It was such a fun romp of a story!

Delphie has lived a very isolated life, she doesn't want to let anyone in, her dad left, and then her mom went off to a commune. That she dies choking on a bite of a burger, not fun. To meet someone who might be perfect for her, and then he's back to life, well, making a deal so she could, as well made sense.

Watching her search for him, when she only knows his first name and that he's in London, well, that complicate things, not to mention that he doesn't remember their encounter. That her miserly neighbour might be able to help, well, I loved their interactions. 

Really, this was a story of missed connections, of almosts and maybes, which was just a delight to read, because she is on a time crunch. Oh, but how it all came together? That ending was so adorable to read! I'm glad it worked out like that! 

Loved reading this book and I'd love to read more by Kirsty Greenwood!
