When Delphie chokes on a burger and appears in the afterlife she finds herself in the laundromat of her after life therapist Merritt. While in the waiting room she meets a handsome stranger who has landed in the after life by mistake and gets bumped back to the living. When she finds out he’s her soulmate she begs Merritt for a return trip for her chance at love. Merritt, a fan of romance novels and all their tropes breaks the rules for her and allows her 7 days to be kissed by her true love. If she doesn’t get her kiss, she’s back in the afterlife.

This unique premise caught my eye but it was the quirky characters, humor, and my favorite enemies to lovers trope that kept me reading. Delphie hasn’t had a great life. Estranged from her parents, living a pretty solitary life, she now finds herself given an impossible task; to find her soulmate in a city of millions. Enlisting the aid of her co-workers and neighbors, she begins to follow his trail. As she does, she gets to know all of these people who have been in her life, but whom she has never allowed herself to befriend. I loved how these seven days truly changed Delphie and made her realize that she doesn’t want to leave this life behind and there are reasons to live.

This was definitely a quirky premise and these characters were often laugh out loud funny. This is the first novel I’ve read by Kirsty Greenwood and I’ll be looking for others with the hope she delivers on the humor again. It’s also worth noting that she delivers great relationships too. Delphie was a loner and her journey starts from scratch. She has to make friends, change her demeanor from sour and grumpy to open and welcoming, and she falls in love! This novel was transforming in a lot of ways and it was a lot of fun to read. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley for an honest review and it was honest.
