The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood is a terrific romcom with an interesting and unique plot.
Delphie dies suddenly and alone after choking on a microwave burger. She ends up in a place called Evermoor (think "The Good Place" but with washing machines) Whilst in this weird and heavenly waiting room she meets her soul mate, Jonah. But here's the kicker, Jonah is not meant to be in Evermoor and is quickly returned to the land of the living. Delphie is offered a deal where she can return to her previous life, but she must find and kiss her mystery man to gain a second chance at life. So, armed only with his first name and that he lives somewhere in London Delphie has 10 days to complete her mission. The clock is ticking.
This book has everything you want from a romcom. There are quirky characters, hilarious escapades and swoon worthy romance. But most of all I enjoyed Delphie's journey and growth as a character. She brought the most tender and heartwarming moments to the story that made me cry happy tears. This book is just begging to be made into a film.
