Andie’s Book Club: The Love of My After Life by Kirsty Greenwood
The Love of My After Life is a story about making your time on earth count – cherishing your moments and making the most of every breath.
The Love of My After Life is a story about making your time on earth count - cherishing your moments and making the most of every breath.
It asks the questions we often avoid: What have you done with your life? What will people say about you when you’re gone? What legacy are you leaving behind? They’re big questions, yes, but deeply worth pondering - especially if, like Delphie, you find yourself watching a highlight reel of your life from Heaven’s waiting room.
Trying to do the scary thing is almost as good as actually doing the scary thing.
That’s exactly where Delphie, our main character, ends up: questioning everything she has, or hasn’t, done. Is it too late to go back and do better? For Delphie, the answer is no. She gets a second chance to find love, rewrite her story, and shape a legacy that finally feels like her own. It begs the question: What would you do differently if you had the chance?

The Love of My After Life might be one of the most thought-provoking romantic stories I’ve read. As you follow Delphie through her do-over, you can’t help but reflect on your own life: on the choices you’ve made and the ones you still might have time to make.
I might not have much choice in how long I stay alive. But I do have some say in how much life I can pack into the days I have left. How much happiness I can experience.
Have you made the most of your time here on Earth? Are there adventures on your bucket list that deserve a little dusting off? Is there someone (a romantic partner or otherwise) who’s your “ride or die”? Maybe it’s time to share that bucket list with them and start checking things off together.
Life is short. Most of us won’t get a second chance.
So if you’re looking for a sign to shake up your routine, do something unforgettable, or take a breathtaking leap - this is it.
Do the thing. No regrets.
A library card is a portal, if you will, into any universe you can imagine. Oh, the adventures you will have!
