Readers who love short stories will want to read this newest release from JT Ellison. It’s a bit of a mix between Ground Hog Day and It’s a Wonderful Life.
Mia Jensen is a 40 year old woman who finds herself literally at death’s door in the first story. Each story that follows is written by a different author and gives a different version of her life, based on different choices she might have made in the past.
Having these short stories presented by different authors gave some very unique perspectives as to what Mia’s life could have been like. It also gives readers a sample of each author’s writing. I found myself turning back to the table of contents for a look at the authors of the stories and made notes of those which I enjoyed the most for future reading.
I liked the way JT Ellison’s last story tied everything up for the ending. This is a book that would be easy to read in one sitting or to spread out over a period of time, with one story a day. I will admit, at times it was difficult to switch gears and move from one story to the next.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Two Tales Press for allowing me to read an advance copy and give my honest review.
