The thought I had when I was about 90% through this book is that THIS story is what I wish the book “It Ends with Us” had been like. This was a story about domestic violence that actually had me understanding the way it can happen generationally. I felt drawn to Shelley’s story and the way in which her life played out, though filled with tragedy, made sense. I am ELATED that she got her big dream and her happy ending, but I also felt so sad that she didn’t remember anything at the start and had to piece it all together. The building of the story really was well done and I enjoyed reading it.

This was… fine? I didn’t love it, didn’t hate it. The concept was interesting and had a lot of potential. I mean, waking up to a totally different version of your life is always a fun hook, but I felt like the execution didn’t totally land for me. Shelley as a character was a bit hard to connect with at times, and some of the plot points felt a little too convenient or rushed.

That said, there were definitely moments that made me smile or think, and the writing had a nice flow. If you’re into stories about second chances and alternate realities, this could still be worth checking out. Just wasn’t a standout for me.
