--Josie Silver, New York Times bestselling author

"If I died in the middle of reading The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood, I hope I'd have the wherewithal to bring it to the afterlife waiting room with me! I had the best time reading this book and NEEDED to know how everything was going to turn out for Delphie. I spent part of the book literally spit-laughing at the witty banter, surprising references, and hilarious hijinx Delphie got herself into; part of the book trying to figure out which side character I'd want to play in the adaptation; and part of the book charmed into a puddle on the floor. I'm going to be telling every person in my life to read this book."
--Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of Love in the Time of Serial Killers

"The Love of My Afterlife is a gorgeously addictive romp of a romantic comedy, with added magic. I adored it."
--Clare Pooley, New York Times bestselling author of The Authenticity Project

"I smiled throughout Kirsty Greenwood's delightful The Love of My Afterlife, cheering along at Delphie's mad-cap romp through London in search of a magic kiss that would, literally, give her another chance at life. An enchanting story of found family, laugh-out-loud chaos, the magic of discovering purpose, and a truly dreamy love story. I adored every page!"
--Uzma Jalaluddin, author of the internationally bestselling Three Holidays and a Wedding and Much Ado about Nada

"I think the challenge in writing rom coms can be to have the laughs interspersed in a story that has real heart - Kirsty does this with aplomb."
--Sophie Cousens, New York Times bestselling author

"Nobody does smart, sexy, relatable romantic comedy like Kirsty Greenwood. The Love of My Afterlife made me cackle like a maniac, but it's packed with gut-punching raw emotion too, and so much beautiful truth. Reading it is like hanging out with your funniest and cleverest best friend  - I never wanted it to end."
--Isabelle Broom

--USA Today

"[A] hilarious British romance." 
--Chatelaine

"In the novel, [Greenwood] explores the unique challenges of making friends as an adult, breaking out of lifelong patterns and facing deep-seated fears to find the courage to live a life that's unapologetically loud."
--Good Morning America
 
"The Love of My Afterlife is a delightful and dreamy romance."
--SheDoesTheCity

"This madcap romantic comedy may just be the romance novel of the summer, with its unique, funny, and heartfelt tale. . . . Greenwood's premise is slightly bonkers and all the more delightful for it. . . . Greenwood has a screamingly delicious wit; nailing everything from the odd scenarios in which Delphie finds herself . . . to the crackling banter between the characters. The book is also swooningly romantic, leaning on romance tropes with a self-aware glee. . . . But what really makes the book a sparkling gem is the ways in which it understands the differences between existing and truly living. . . . [A]bove all, The Love of My Afterlife is a deliriously funny and earnest love letter to connection and the ways it gives our lives meaning."
--Entertainment Weekly
