Really enjoyed this book there is no one like TJR to share a powerful message through her work. However I remember feeling a little let down but the ending of this book. I found it too broad but it made sense to go that way with the story, so this was a personally opinion more then anything else.

The story follows Hannah in two different storylines after she makes a decision one night to stay at a bar with her high school sweetheart or go home with her best friend. We get to see how her life plays out if she were to choose either one, which I think is a very interesting idea and I really enjoyed getting to see. However I was a little disappointed by the ending because it felt anticlimactic.

Still highly recommend you check this one out!

Fantastic book... but the word "laugh" is vastly overused. It is probably on every page. In one instance, 5 times on one page. The humor and light-hearted conversation is felt without the author having to say "I laughed", "she laughed", "he laughed", "I laughed and said", "she laughs and does this", etc. so frequently.

Very, very repetitive.

Spoiler I didn’t need to be told how much she loved cinnamon rolls and having her hair in a high bun as often as I was told. Totally understand what TJR was trying to do by showing a consistency between the two lifetimes but it got repetitive and made a slightly dull story kind of annoying
