Episode 155 - The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty GreenwoodThis book broke our rating system. Fully. Completely.Sam and Danielle talk about The Love of My Afterlife, a book we loved so much that Danielle would gladly revoke every other 5-star rating she’s ever given just to give them all to this one. It’s funny, heartfelt, weird in the best way, and emotionally devastating in a way that sneaks up on you.That said… Sam has a hot take that cannot be ignored: Merritt might actually be the true villain.We get into character dynamics, emotional manipulation vs intention, and why loving a book doesn’t mean we won’t still interrogate it.If you like romances with big feelings, existential questions, and the kind of love story that lingers long after the last page.New episodes every Monday at 8 AM EST ✨Next week: The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels⏱️ TIME STAMPS00:00 Intro01:05 About the Author02:33 Background04:24 Age Level & Content Warning07:07 Discussion01:05:03 General Thoughts01:07:22 Movie?01:08:19 One Question for the Author01:09:42 Rating01:11:13 Read Again?01:12:34 Outro📖 FOLLOW THE AUTHORKirsty GreenwoodWebsite: https://www.kirstygreenwood.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KirstyGreenwoodBooks/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirsty_greenwood/Twitter: https://x.com/kirstystories🔗 Connect with Us on SocialsFacebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575460276754Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/lunar_skulk/TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/lunar_skulk⁠⁠⁠⁠🎧 Listen Wherever You Get Podcasts
