This Time Next Year
by Sophie Cousens
Synopsis: Minnie Cooper & Quinn Hamilton are complete opposites; one has lived a privileged life of wealth & comfort while the other has struggled with insecurity, financial woes, and bad luck...like being named after a car. But, after a happenstance meeting at a New Year’s Eve party, they realize they both share a birthday, New Year’s Day... and a connection that spans their entire lives.
If Minnie & Quinn are such opposites, why do they find themselves continually drawn to each other? WIll Minnie’s insecurities keep her from exploring this undeniable connection or will Quinn’s struggle with commitment squash any chance of any connection to even blossom?
Review: This book absolutely captured my heart. Cousens did an impeccable job of creating both characters & a storyline with depth & appeal. I seriously want to be Minnie’s best mate at this point. My heart was one hundred percent invested in Minnie’s life, well-being, and eventual outcome. She was likable, relatable, and someone I found myself championing for. And I don’t know about you, but God if I didn’t find myself wanting to just hug the crap out of Quinn the entire book...was it just me? Yes? Yeah, I’m weird like that.
One of the best rides of this entire book was the ‘will they, won’t they’. I continually found myself physically leaning into the book like “Is this it?!?!? Is it about to happen!?!?!?”
Besides all that fun THE best part of This Time Next Year was the character development of both Minnie & Quinn. The way the storyline was presented allowed you to really get to see the progression of both characters as they walked through their journey of self-discovery & in my opinion, self-acceptance. I cannot recommend this book enough y’all. This is truly gonna be in my top 5 of 2020!
