Berkeley’s THE LOVE OF MY AFTERLIFE is Good Morning America’s July Book Club Selection

Kirsty Greenwood‘s hilarious and emotional romantic comedy THE LOVE OF MY AFTERLIFE (Berkeley) was announced yesterday, July 2nd, as Good Morning America’s July Book Club Pick!

Purchased in heated auctions around the world, THE LOVE OF MY AFTERLIFE is about a recently deceased woman who meets “the one” in the waiting room of the afterlife and is given a second chance at life and love if she finds him on earth and gets him to kiss her before 10 days are up.

Greenwood writes a love story that feels at turns sophisticated and utterly relatable. That’s one of the many reasons Berkeley editor-in-chief Jen Monroe fell in love with the novel. “Kirsty really nailed the sophisticated, painful concept of love and the world-building that goes with it, but she also put so much effort into her characters and their hopes and dreams.”

Greenwood deftly weaves themes of loneliness, grief and self-discovery into a romantic comedy full of laugh-out-loud moments, exploring the unique challenges of making friends as an adult, breaking lifelong patterns and facing deep-seated fears to find the courage to live a life that is unapologetically loud.

Ready for the big breakthrough in summer 2024, THE LOVE OF MY AFTERLIFE is already popular with bestselling authors Ashley Poston, Carley Fortune and Colleen Hoover. A recent review by Elle enthuses: “Kirsty Greenwood’s THE LOVE OF MY AFTERLIFE takes a slice from The good place to create a cheeky romantic comedy full of light and laughter.”
