The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood
4.0

This story starts with Delphie choking on a hamburger and dying. She ends up in a laundromat talking with Merritt, who says she is her Afterlife Therapist. Merritt shows Delphie a sad video of her life. Delphie is so disturbed that she attempts to run away, but instead runs right into a handsome stranger. They talk, stare into each other’s eyes, and seem to have a moment. Then, he’s whisked away back to the land of the living. However, Delphie, still distraught, tries to bargain with Merritt to get her life back. Merritt makes a deal with Delphie that she will send her back to the land of the living; and Delphie can stay, if she can find this handsome stranger and get him to kiss her within 10 days. Although this is a daunting task, she readily agrees. Delphie only knows his first name is Jonah; and that he’s in London. Delphie quickly finds that she can’t do this task on her own and has to engage with other people to get their help. One of those people is her grumpy neighbor on the first floor, Cooper. This was more than just a simple romance; it is about found family and opening up to new relationships. I really enjoyed this heartwarming story.
