Classic Taylor Jenkins Reid! Never disappoints. This is exactly what I needed right now. I absolutely ADORED the friendship between Gabby and Hannah. I did like the commentart of how every decision we make set a new reality for us. I do think about that from time to time. Like if I did this then would my life be different you know? What would change? What would stay constant? Both love interests were great. I loved the family aspect in this as well. I'm not going to lie I find it confusing at times to keep track of which reality was which and what events transpired in which reality and what stayed the same. The whole "everything happens for a reason" debate is controversial one and a question that has been pondered over forever and I felt like the author did a nice job in delving into the issue. Overall a nice read.

This was an interesting book with an interesting concept. I didn’t enjoy one storyline a lot more than the other. I thought the writing was OK. It was a little boring and simple. In my opinion. The characters were OK but there was a lot of good quotes in this.
