A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK
AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!
"This book has it all. Humor, heart, and a heroine I was desperately rooting for. Kirsty Greenwood has a new fan!”
—Colleen Hoover, New York Times bestselling author
A recently deceased woman meets “the one” in the afterlife waiting room, scoring a second chance at life (and love!) if she can find him on earth before ten days are up…
If she wasn’t dead already, Delphie would be dying of embarrassment. Not only did she just die by choking on a microwaveable burger, but now she’s standing in her ‘shine like a star’ nightie in front of the hottest man she’s ever seen. And he’s smiling at her.
As they start to chat, everything else becomes background noise. That is until someone comes running out of a door, yelling something about a huge mistake, and sends the dreamy stranger back down to earth. And here Delphie was thinking her luck might be different in the afterlife.
When Delphie is offered a deal in which she can return to earth and reconnect with the mysterious man, she jumps at the opportunity to find her possible soulmate and a fresh start. But in a city of millions, Delphie is going to have to listen to her heart, learn to ask for help, and perhaps even see the magic in the life she’s leaving behind…
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Timing is a major issue for the heroine of this supernatural romance. Deeply unconfident Delphie Bookham is a lonely 27-year-old virgin who, after choking on a bite of cheeseburger, finds herself in a sort of purgatory. That’s where she experiences love at first sight with Jonah, another recent arrival. But the joke’s on her—he’s there due to an admin glitch and gets sent back to Earth. So a kind overseer decides to give Delphie 10 days back in the land of the living to find Jonah and earn his love. Kirsty Greenwood makes us feel what it’s like to be Delphie—with all her anxiety—while letting us laugh at every outrageous turn of fate she encounters. Sofia Oxenham’s narration captures all the color and fun of Greenwood’s prose and makes you feel like you’re right there, sharing Delphie’s literally death-defying search for Mr. Right.
Customer Reviews
Funny and original. A MUST SUMMER READ.
A must summer read! The story is funny and original. Kudos to the author! Plus, the narrator had the perfect speed to keep you engaged. I enjoyed her ability to express the characters emotions during the read. Which made it all the funnier. I did not want to pause the book.
