Delphie Bookham has to choke to death on a beef burger before she finds out from her After Life Therapist that she hasn't really been living at all when she finally meets her soul mate in the Waiting Room of the After Life. She's only twenty-seven, but she knows it's too soon for her to die. When sparks fly between Delphie and Jonah, who's only unconscious before he's sent back to Earth, Merritt sees an opportunity to have some fun by giving Delphie ten days to find Jonah in London and have him kiss her to stay among the living. That's the premise of Kirsty Greenwood's novel The Love of My After Life (#1,287).
All she knows is his first name, so how is she supposed to find him? Delphie manages to cram a lifetime's worth of experiences into the ten days she has, while learning just how much she's missed along the way.
It's a wonderful life, to coin a phrase, and a wonderful read as well.
Delphie has some powerful lessons to teach the reader about a life well-lived.
