"How could the soul fated to kill me be the one to make me feel so alive?"
"Suffering is in itself a pyramid scheme. Hurt people hurt people. One soul feels pain, so they inflict the same upon three more, in a bid to rid themselves of it. ... The human condition, so it seems."
"To love was to live, and to live was to die."

Arden and Evelyn are bound together by some supernatural force.
In each life, they die, at the hands of each other, before their 18th birthday.
And each time, they come back.
This time, Wales 2022, Evelyn is determined to stay around long enough to save her sister Gracie and maybe get to the bottom of WHY this keeps happening. Surely there is a way to break this curse she finds herself trapped in, to never reach adulthood.
This story definitely has some non-linear components and a fated romance type tale. As we learn more about their lives we also visit different locations and time periods and take a fascinating look at just what defines a person. Is it their gender, birthplace, caste in life, traits, physical or otherwise, disabilities...? And just what is a soul?
I am especially glad that this was a standalone as I don't think it needed to be dragged out into a second book, but I do feel that the ending could have been a little bit tighter and some of the earlier exposition could have been a little bit shorter. Regardless I had no problem staying interested in the story and really liked all the extra background context to their past lives.
