I’m glad that we got to see how different life choices can actually change the path we end up on.
I’m glad the author didn’t keep the same ending for both life paths as many authors would have as it made the story more realistic and enjoyable.

This had to order Cinnabon because I dreamt of cinnamon rolls last night.

Oh no, just when I thought I’d got out of the Jenkins Reid slump, with Carrie Soto - here we are again!
If I had my $8 again, I wouldn’t waste the time or money on this.
It just… was cliché and just not my cup of tea.
I feel like her characters had no depth and they’re just not real people?
I liked the idea of Ethan/ Henry regardless - but again: does it need to be that explicit?!
I know TJR can be more subtle as I have read better books but this one I just wouldn’t recommend.
I disliked Hannah (so much I could barely remember her name), Gabby’s quirks just weren’t authentic - maybe Charlemagne was the only character I liked.
Don’t recommend.
Also cinnamon rolls - HOW many times do they need to be mentioned? Not cute.
It felt like one of those stories I tried to write when I was 16, except it got published and I actually paid money for it!

A grown up version of choose your own adventure. As the storylines unfold side by side two things can happen; one, you get the parallel stories confused and two, it can get repetitive. Also, the "is it fate" theme was hammered home way to hard. No subtly about that idea, it's mentioned 2947 times with the bluntness of a hit on the read with a 2x4. By story end I was really over it. All that said it was an interesting concept and entertaining to read and I was invested in finding out how each story line ended.

There are moments when you think despite very different things happening that the ends may turn out the same ... But they don't and I think a more masterful storyteller could have made that happen and it would have been amazing to see someone craft that. Anyway, not my story!
