This was a sweet book, but I found it majorly lacking in personality. Predominantly in the main character, Hannah, which made it difficult to really connect with the story. As its told in two alternating timelines defined by a single choice (stay out with her ex or go home early with her best friend, Gabby), that sort-of only added to the disconnect I felt like. 

The one relationship in the book that I really loved was the only constant in both timelines—Hannah and Gabby’s friendship. I liked one MMC far better than the other, though neither had me in my feelings, as they say. Pretty predictable story arcs on both sides.

However, this is a really optimistic, hopeful read. Good if you’re wanting something light complete with not one, but TWO happily ever afters. It read quite fast, too, so that was a plus.

This was really good. It was super interesting to see Hannah’s life unfold in two vastly different ways. I wasn’t sure how it was gonna end, but having finished it I see that it was an exploration of how our simple choices can send us in vastly different directions. So it didn’t have any mind-blowing ending or anything, but that wasn’t the point. We just got to watch Hannah’s simple decision lead her to two incredibly different lives. Definitely thought-provoking!

 This was such a thought provoking book. I really enjoyed this and loved both lives. As usual, TJR doesn't disappoint and is, at this point, one of my favorite authors. This wasn't as exciting as some of her others but I don't think this needed to be.

This was such a heartwarming and inspirational book! I really enjoyed the writing in alternate timelines, and how the author explored each possible outcome to Hannah’s decision. 
I was really thinking that in each timeline, Hannah would end up in the same place/situation/with the same person/etc. and in some aspects, everything I suppose was meant to happen still happened. But it was still nice to have an ending that made you question how your decisions really impact the course of your life, and make you question if fate and destiny and soulmates really exist. It was definitely a book that gets you thinking! 
But overall still makes you feel good and inspired that even if bad things happen or you’re lost, your decisions are leading you to the right place at the right time and everything happens for a reason, even if that reason doesn’t seem clear to us at the time. 
It also has greatttt character development, and I thoroughly enjoyed the development of the female friendship along with the romances.
