This book has an amazingly unique storyline where Delphie sets out on a journey of love, friendship and self discovery.I loved the author’s use of humour and laughed out loud many time while I was reading this. The story has great side characters. I especially liked Aled, the helpful librarian. A must-read for anyone who enjoys a romantic comedy!

What a fun read this is! This year I’ve really had the pleasure of reading some great rom-coms, a genre I never thought I would get into, but here I am grinning and giggling my way through another fantastically written one. Would I recommend this? Yes! It is the perfect mixture of sweet and funny, and the twists and turns will have you giggling away all night.

Ok I loved this.So much so I actually devoured the whole thing in a day. I do not do that for just any book!! The Love of my Afterlife took me completely by surprise. I had no idea what to expect and the story just kept taking unexpected twists and turns that kept me on my toes — incredibly refreshing for a romance novel in which they are so often very formulaic and (comfortably) predictable. But this story was so much more than just a romance.

This romcom took me through almost every emotion- I freaking loved it!This book had me cackling, stressed, (almost) crying, and smiling like a lunatic. I couldn’t put it down! There are so many heartwarming moments in this book, it made me feel all fuzzy and happy (ew) ❤️ This has to be one of my top reads so far for 2024
