I enjoyed the listen, looked forward to the plot part of the story. Thora and Shanti never really gained my interest despite it being a character driven story. I could have done without at least half of their lives.
Audio.
What a wild ride! I cried (of course) at the ending. This was a special book.

This was a beautiful read. Such an imaginative story woven with continuity and mystery and without a single inconsistency. I have such a picture in my mind of the people and places, and was sad to leave them as I finished the last page.

I have never disliked a main character so much before. I really hate the female lead. She is the worst character I've read so far--I'm surprised I made it through the book. She's whiny, rude, mean, selfish, self-centered and evil. The story premise is good, the twist towards the end was good but then c'mon... that end tho... that bumped my rating completely. The execution of the premise wasn't to my liking too. I disliked how there was so many 'lifetimes' they had together but most of them seem pointless? They were unnecessary and it didn't really add much to the story or the character growth.

Thora and Santi meet at a university far from home and there is instantly a connection, when suddenly, one of them unexpectedly dies. But their story hasn't ended yet: the two find each other again, this time as teacher and student, and their story restarts. This repeats seemingly endlessly, and the two struggle with finding meaning and purpose in their existence, only to discover a shocking truth.
I've read books that twist and contort time, but I've never read a book like this before. There are so many ways that this book could have gone wrong – the lifetimes could have felt repetitive, the age differences could have felt upsetting, the conclusion could have been unsurprising – but somehow, the mystical wizard that is Catriona Silvey deftly lept over each pitfall.
Breathtaking world-building and masterful character depth helped me imagine every scene with immaculate detail, and it felt more like I was omnisciently experiencing it rather than merely reading it. This is sci-fi for both fans and foes of the genre, and it truly speaks to the importance of connection and curiosity.
This is not a story to be devoured but rather savored, every sentence bursting with depth and elegance. Meet Me in Another Life is a book I know I'll be recommending to everyone I know, and I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to read it early.

I feel such a connection with this book - on more levels than I could have ever expected. The narrative is wonderfully woven, slowly feeding me clues (that I often don’t pick up on). Thora and Santi are so real. I get to know them on so many levels. And just when you see what is happening, there is more. I absolutely loved it.
