As is always the case with this author, I found the story engaging.  In this case, two concurrent stories follow what happens from a single decision.  I liked both stories.

The idea of this book is a sweet one, two different timelines. Similar journies by different routes. The audiobook made it faster to get through but I think I would’ve liked it better reading (romance is hard on audio). Overall, TJR has done much, much better and so I think I was a bit disappointed. The cinnamon roll thing was clearly supposed to be sweet and cute but I found it annoying. Hannah, the main character, wasn’t very likable but wasn’t interesting enough for me to dislike. Again, the concept is very sweet and the back and forth keeps you entertained. I just expect more of TJR.

I know that she loves cinnamon rolls you don’t have to tell me every five seconds. The characters overall are very two dimensional, the plot is clear from the very beginning. The concept tho is really really cool and interesting but the rest not so much.

Omg I loved this book! I loved how certain things were always destined to happen, no matter the timeline. I also liked how it was told from the two different timelines, and how one decision can completely alter not only your life, but others’ lives as well.
