#Review #NetGalley #TheLoveOfMyAfterlife
If she wasn't dead already, Delphie would be dying of embarrassment. She's entered the afterlife wearing the sort of pyjamas you don't want anyone to see and finds herself face-to-face with the most handsome man she's ever encountered. And he's smiling at her.
As they start to chat, everything else becomes background noise – until someone comes running out of a door, yelling something about a huge mistake, and sends the dreamy stranger back down to earth.
In a twist of fate, Delphie is offered a deal in which she can return to her previous life and reconnect with the mysterious man she's sure is her soulmate.
The challenge? She only has ten days to find him.
Ten days to make him fall for her.
Oh, and he has no recollection of them ever having met…

My Review
I thought this was the first book I'd read by this author, but was surprised to find I have read another one many years ago (I really need to go back and re-read it!). I read the blurb on this one and saw the cover and knew it would be something I would love...and I was right! We meet Delphie who's died and has entered the afterlife, which strangely enough looks just like a launderette! Whilst there she meets Jonah, a complete stranger, who is the most handsome man she's ever seen and most definitely her soulmate. Sadly though, he shouldn't be there yet and gets sent back to Earth before she can find out anything else about him. Delphie is however given a deal - she gets sent back to the living and if she can get Jonah to kiss her within 10 days, then she gets to stay, if not she returns to the afterlife for all eternity!
This was such a brilliant read!! I absolutely loved it and couldn't put it down once I'd started. I loved Delphie's character but did really feel sorry for her with her friendless and loveless life! Her story flits through the 10 days where she tries to find Jonah with the help of her strange neighbour Cooper and she finds herself jogging through the park, at a nude art class and podium dancing to name but a few in her quest to find him. I laughed my way through most of this, but there were the odd moments where it became quite sad and emotional, especially as the story moves on.
I have to admit I didn't think it would be as fun a read as it was, I initially thought I would end up crying throughout it! But it's a lovely, warm-hearted, entertaining story with lovable characters which you fall in love with. Absolutely wonderful! Would definitely recommend!
