The Love of My After Life - Merritt is the Villain
Mon Feb 02 2026
Episode 155 - The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood
This 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.
