How much do our decisions affect the way our lives turn out? Would one decision change it all? Those are the main questions that this book leaves the reader asking themselves!
Jane, the FMC, has a decision to make…..does she brave her fear of driving in storms and pick up her flighty sister Esme? Or does she finally put her foot down and say no.
Told with alternating timelines in each chapter, the author shows us what might have happened based on those two choices. I actually really enjoyed this style of writing. It kept things fresh!
What I didn’t enjoy was the character development. Esme and Jane honestly were not very likable characters. I think the use of the alternating timelines hindered the characters for me. Honestly, that’s just my own issue. I tend to struggle with non-likeable characters.
Overall, I’m glad I gave this a read, and I’ll definitely give this author’s future works a chance!
