I tried SO hard to figure out the why behind what was happening but I never in a million years would have guessed correctly. I was SHOOKETH to my core with that twist.
The only thing I would have loved to see more of was the “falling in love” parts of their timelines. It was a very fast paced book, and I found myself wishing that I could get more of their love story in each time period. Even with that, this book was literal perfection and one that I will be thinking about for a long time.

I cried 77 pages in.
This is so so so beautifully written. I bawled. Multiple times. A beautiful telling of love over the ages and finding your soulmate in every lifetime

That being said, I did get a little emotional at the ending, but I feel that a story like this should have had me absolutely weeping. The characters often felt distant and detached despite that being the opposite of the author's intention. It made for a bit of a strange reading experience, although the author's writing is good and I would try a future book from them that didn't deal with time jumps.

A solid YA book. The characters are very themselves even across their various incarnations. Settings are distinctive but could feel more cinematic. The mystery continues along for the first 80% without much forward development, which all comes to a head until nearly the final chapter. I appreciated the dual-ish timeline to help keep us rooted to the main thread of the plot.
Thank you NetGalley and Wednesday Books for a gifted arc in exchange for my honest review.
