Maybe Once, Maybe Twice by Alison Rose Greenberg

4.25

challenging emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A beautiful and devastating story about lost opportunities, wrong timing, regret, hope, changing dreams, and lost love. Didn't expect it to hit so hard but Greenberg did a great job layering the situational complexities, creating very complex characters, bringing out complex and competing emotions from the reader. Complexly bittersweet. I feel proud of the main character for her choices and authenticity and loyalty to herself. Definitely ended up sobbing near the end but feel good about the actual finale
