TJR does it again!!!
This is NOT a romance and the best friend relationship is my favorite! Like Malibu rising, this book focuses relationships and their impact on our lives.

TJR does such a great job at writing deeply developed characters and well thought out out relationships. Everything feels so real without being mundane. Her relationship are beautifully done. 

The choose-your-own-path we needed as adults!

I really wanted to like this book, because I've lived so many of Taylor Jenkins Reid's other books, but this one didn't do it for me. It was an interesting concept, but neither storyline had a compelling-enough love interest to justify how much time we spent with them. There were way too many plot points that would have been poignant or important in one storyline that got spoiled many chapters earlier in the other plotline.
The pregnancy was revealed SO EARLY in the Henry plot and it took forever to be revealed in the Ethan plot. And then the reverse happened with the Mark cheating moment.

I really needed this at this point in my life. A beautiful and hopeful reminder that it is what it is and we should enjoy it. Plus, I like the multiverse theory and I honestly hope it’s true. I hope all the other mes are thoroughly enjoying their time. Maybe all the other mes also read this book and think about me.

It was ok. You can really tell that Jenkins Reid has improved her writing overtime. This one felt a little too guided, almost self-helpy, but there's still the compelling character dynamic that's become her trademark. I think she did a better take on the multiverse premise than Midnight Library by Haig, this is the book I would've liked to read instead so if that's you I can't recommend it more.

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.
