Not This Time by Jen Tyes

Coulda, woulda, shoulda
Emma is, like many women, heavily influenced by her family, friends, and boyfriends. To the point that, inch by inch, it’s brought her to a place where she doesn’t even know how she got where she is - but she knows she’s not happy.
Enter Harry, a kind older gentleman with an ear to listen ... and the strange, unexplained ability to literally let Emma explore her past, present, and the alternate futures that could have existed for her and the one that may yet come to pass if she doesn’t start living for herself. And while it’s a bit odd that Emma doesn’t question it, I can’t say I blame her - haven’t we all wondered what could have been? What will be if we stay on our path?
She finds out all that and so much more in this short and sweet tale with amazing lessons on listening to your own voice, being your own advocate, and not settling for less than you know you deserve. And for that message alone, that extremely important reminder, this is absolutely a must read.
