The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood

I have never read anything by this author before but I will be looking for others. It was fun, light hearted, romantic, and I was so hooked from the first page that I read it in a day.

Delphine was an introvert, and that’s how she liked it. Other people invariably let her down and left her with heartache, so apart from an elderly neighbour who she took breakfast to every day, she kept herself to herself. One night, when she was eating a microwave burger, and unfortunately not looking her best, she choked on a piece of burger and ended up in the afterlife – which looked remarkably like a launderette! She is just getting used to the idea of being dead, but bemoaning her attire, when a gorgeous stranger turns up and they have a ‘moment’ before he is whisked back as he was not actually dead just under anaesthetic. Delphine is desperate to meet the handsome stranger, who she only knows as Jonah again, and to look after her elderly neighbour, and is desperate to go back to earth. Her guide offers her a deal . If she can find Jonah within 10 days, and get him to kiss her, she can stay on earth. With the help of her curmudgeonly neighbour Cooper, she has 10 days to track down Jonah and kiss him – and he has no recollection of meeting her.

The book is funny, touching, and I couldn’t put it down. A wonderful holiday story.
