Delphie can not believe her situation. One minute she was eating a hamburger and the next she wakes up to find herself no longer in earth but in the afterlife, with only an overly peppy guardian at her side. Delphie is seconds away from a nervous breakdown when she meets another new arrival, a dashing man that Delphie finds herself instantly falling for. But when a clerical error sends this man back to earth, Delphie makes a deal. Give her 10 days to find the mystery man and have him kiss her. If she succeeds, she can stay on earth. If not, she’ll return to the afterlife. As Delphie sets out on her conquest, she discovers that some things are worth fighting for.

This was a super cute romance book with a very interesting premise that was the real strength of the story. While other books and movies have certainly dealt with the afterlife and humans making deals to return to their lives, there was something fresh about Ms. Greenwood’s take. The characters are all fairly flushed out and Delphie herself was both entertaining and heartwarming to watch.

While the outcome of Delphie’s story was somewhat inevitable, I do like her character’s progression to where she ends up by the story’s conclusion. The only reason why I gave this fun story a 4 stars is because the last 30 pages of the book sort of go off course. It felt like it distracted more from the story than added to it. I understand why Ms. Greenwood went in this direction, to give the story a slightly unpredictable ending but I just didn’t like it. A more cookie cutter ending would have been more fitting.

4 out of 5 stars
