Any Given Lifetime by Leta Blake
3.0
I love books with reincarnation or ghosts of past lovers. The idea of a ‘soulmate’ or love of a lifetime hits every one of my super mushy, feely buttons so I was really excited to read this book. I think I just have a hard time with this author’s writing style…and I’ve noticed it in a couple of previous books as well. I think it’s probably a case of it’s me, not you and I’m having a hard time quantifying exactly what it is that bothers me about it but I almost quit this book a couple of times. Thankfully I stuck with it because at the 42% mark onward, I loved the story (yes, I can specifically tell you exactly when I started liking the story instead of debating giving up on the book).
I love Neil and Joshua’s story once they ‘rediscover’ each other. Neil is quirky and has absolutely no social skills whatsoever. He’s too smart to be among the common folk but he is great with dogs! 😊 He doesn’t really get along with anyone and basically rubs people the wrong way…except for Joshua. Joshua is a normal, every day kind of guy who is initially in the closet when he meets Neil but is immediately taken by him. He falls hard and fast and appreciates Neil’s quirkiness. They are definitely soulmates and when they finally find either other the second time, my heart CLENCHED with the emotions between them.
As I stated above, if you can stick with the story through the beginning that I didn’t really like, the second half of the book is pretty great.
