Hannah goes out to a bar one night with Gabby and meets up with her high school boyfriend, Ethan. Gabby asks Hannah if she’s ready to go home but Ethan offers to give her a ride later if she wants to stay. What happens if she leaves with Gabby? What happens if she leaves with Ethan? In concurrent storylines, Hannah lives out the effects of each decision.⁠

I always stop and think what my life would be like if I had made different choices, this is always on my mind and it’s crazy to think small or big decisions we make could change where we are currently in our lives. This book challenges that thinking a lot. I found it interesting that there was no clear indication that one life was better than the other. I mean, you as a reader can choose which life you liked better for her, but I feel like ultimately, a lot of the same things happened in both realities and the things that were different did not feel necessarily better.⁠

⁠

This book wasn’t just about Hannah finding a soulmate, but about her and Gabby’s friendship. They are the type of friends who can read each other’s minds and are there for each other no matter what. You meet so many characters in this book, most you love but some you hate.⁠

I loved this book so much. I am so in love with the way TJR writes, the way she pulls you into every story! Another must read!
