Recs if you like The Love of My Afterlife...

do you hate unnecessary heartache from couples deciding against all reason to breakup just to get back together two pages later? you're in the right place! all these books are safe from the third act breakup trope, but that doesn't mean they don't have angst and conflict!

fiction books taking place after death

Romance books which just make you feel good while reading them. They have a happy end and good vibes overall. Maybe you enjoy reading them during the summer or when you need a little something to take your mind of things. They don't have very dark topic, though they don't have to be without a little conflict to keep you entertained. Feel free to comment so I can add more recommendations!

Let's gather all the no 3rd act breakup romance books we can. I want them to show us that even if they fight they'll work through it together🥹💗✨ feel free to give me more books to add to the list.

romances that involve the afterlife with one, or both, of the MCs being ghosts, spirits, or reapers.

no vampires or dark romance, there's other great lists for those recs!

Book Attic

This (unfinished!) list contains either books on the afterlife, either books that I could find related to the Good Place, including, of course, What We Owe to Each Other and Michael Schur's book. Some of the books were recommended to me, so recommendations always welcomed!

I can never resist a quirky story about life on the other side. 👻 Whether it’s a murder mystery, a bubblegum horror, or even a sweet romance, there’s something irresistible about seeing it all from a ghost’s POV. I love how kooky and creative these versions of the afterlife can be and it makes the fight for a second chance even more engaging. If you loved The Good Place, School Spirits or Dead Boy Detectives, you’ll have so much fun with these too!

This list features book covers illustrated or designed by New York-based artist Vi-An Nguyen. Her work boasts bold typography, minimalist illustrations, and bright, contracting colours on beautifully textured backgrounds. Her cartoons are often featured in The New Yorker.

Novels about life after death: zombies, ghosts, after life, and reincarnation.

Collecting books that would categorise as romance/romantasy/fantasy with prominent romance subplot that booksandlala has rated 4 stars or higher.

Feel free to suggest more books that would fit into this list, correct wrongly added books or suggest improvements to this list ☺️

romance books that have some touch of magic or whimsy that are not fantasy...alternate universes are frequently found here

based purely on vibes

Cover art I love and stare at

Romance books I would recommend to anyone! I’m sure there’s lots of these lists out there, but as someone who reads about 100 romances a year, I thought I’d point out ones I love!
