I'll just say it: I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!
It's been a while since I got so hooked on a romance book
But I mean, it's my favorite magical realism, so I knew I'd like it!

Saying I loved this book feels like an understatement, it was everything I needed to pull me out of my reading slump.
When I first read the blurb, I thought, This sounds like the perfect remedy for a cliché romance. It seemed typical and predictable. Boy, was I wrong.
This story is anything but stereotypical. The romance? Absolutely chef’s kiss. The twists and turns? Perfection. Greenwood manages to surprise you when you least expect it, keeping you hooked from beginning to end. The themes of love, self-discovery, and resilience shine through without ever feeling heavy-handed.
The novel is told from Delphie’s perspective, and let me tell you, she is so real. Her humor and realism feel natural, unlike the forced humor you often see in other books. Delphie’s awkwardness and inner thoughts are so relatable, making her a character you can’t help but root for. Greenwood’s writing perfectly captures Delphie’s voice.
The other characters? They leave their mark too. Each one feels purposeful and memorable, contributing to the narrative in meaningful ways.
If you’re looking for a book that will pull you out of your reading slump, make you laugh, and leave you smiling, grab The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood. You won’t regret it.

Cute, a little silly and over the top, but the grumpy heroine and enemies to lovers trope kept me entertained
Well this was just delightful! I enjoyed every minute while reading this book and didn’t want to stop. It’s so clever and funny and sweet. It gave me a little bit of Eleanor Oliphant vibes in all the best ways, and I’ve been looking for a book like that.
What can I say?
I just loved it so so much.

I liked this way more than I expected to. I did learn that I need to get out more before I end up like Delphie, though

I was torn between 4 and 5 stars. I think the only reason that it's 4 is that I don't like that this book fuels this incredibly ridiculous prejudice that you can't be happy alone without sex. Being alone doesn't mean being miserable and leading a sad life. Those bits in the book made me quite angry actually. Except for that, I loved it.
