Audiobook Review: The Love of My Afterlife by Kristi Greenwood

The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the book I needed. THIS is a romantic comedy. To me, the best rom-coms are ones that can break you apart and put you back together - laughter, happy tears, heartwarming moments, and the joy of found family—all wrapped into one. That is EXACTLY what this book is. If a book can make me sob uncontrollably over an a cute old man it is automatically a 4-star read but that is just one of the many joys of this book. 

The premise is a little wacky and unbelievable, but that is the fun of it, and once you embrace it you will enjoy the ride! I would have liked to see more interactions with Jonah and less of the "can't find him goose chase" and some recognization that even though Delphie was staying away from people to protect her heart, she may also be an introvert and there is nothing wrong with that. Some normalization that not everyone feels comfortable or has the mental energy to be surrounded by friends and people 24/7. 

There were many modern day references to romance authors of our time and sometimes that might bother me, but it was done so well that I actually enjoyed it and it made it feel like a book written especially with avid romance/rom-com readers in mind. Besides the two minor things that I hoped would see more of in this book, the book is perfect rom-com. I laughed out loud, I cried, I smiled like an idiot. Read it!
