Thank you to St Martins Press for giving me an e-arc of this books!
After reading the blurb for Our Infinite Fates by Laura Stevens, I was hooked. The reincarnation? The love spanning centuries? Yes and Yes. But man I was not ready for such a beautiful book.
This entire book was wrought with love, heartbreak, suffering, family, and sacrifice. I was hooked from beginning to end. As the reader, I felt every emotion with the characters and was just feeling all the things.
I loved each and every peek into Evelyn and Arden’s lives. It was like being let into the secret through each chapter, knowing I knew more than Evelyn about her own history was just turmoil. And getting to read what her and Arden experienced in the different lives was like being able to understand why and how they continued lives this way but also not truly getting it.
Evelyn so desperately clinging to her love for her family and her life each life was just ugh, so good. And Arden, remembering it all and still killing her each cycle. It felt so raw!
This life cycle though, Bran and her love for her mother and sister was again just so heartbreaking. With all her hopes being held on the fact that Arden could just give her a chance to save her sister 🫣 and then finding Arden and how he fits in her life already was just so good.
I loved Laura Steven’s absolutely beautiful ability to capture these different times in history and tell just a snippet of these iterations of their lives. It was like nothing by else I’ve read before. Don’t get me started on the reveal of how this cycle started. I cried, like a baby.
The ending felt just right and I think the book was just, again, one of those beautiful books that really make you feel things and feel love. Would absolutely recommend this book and am so glad I got to read it.
