3.0
2.5 stars for the bulk of the book, 3 stars for the end, and 4 stars for the conversation with the author at the end of the audiobook.
I enjoyed Daisy Jones & The Six more than this book by the same author, but I also didn't dislike this one. At first, I thought it was ok but not super into the two timelines (the author mentions it being somewhat inspired by the movie Sliding Doors). However, as things wrapped up, I started to be a bit more invested in the two Hannah's fates and there was a toast at the end that kind of tied it all together for me. There is power in having at least one steady friend in your life, and the star of this story is the friendship between Hannah and Gabby.
I appreciated the author's note/conversation at the end about millennials being told they can be/have/do whatever they want and how that pressure makes decision-making extremely hard. I can relate to that!

SI NO HUBIERA SIDO POR LOS TORPES CINNAMON ROLLS LE DABA LAS CINCO ESTRELLAS, YA ME TENÍAN HARTA CON ESO
Todo lo que es posible sucede.
Esta novela es pre 7 maridos y daisy, y si se nota, puedes ver como evolucionó la manera de escribir y de contar las cosas de Taylor, pero esto no significa que no sea una excelente novela.
Después de leer puedo confirmas que Taylor Jenkins Reid es mi autora favorita, su pluma y narración son mágicas y te transmite super bien las emociones de los personajes y aparte es una Experta escribiendo relaciones de amistad y eso me encanta.

A lo largo de mi vida he tomado nueve billones de decisiones que podrían haber cambiado en que punto estoy ahora mismo y hacia adonde voy. No tiene sentido centrarse en una sola. Al menos que uno quiera castigarse.
Hablando en específico de este libro, en el plasma lo que muchas pensamos cuando nos enfrentamos a situaciones que tienen dos posibilidades y tenemos que elegir una, y es el que hubiera pasado si elegía esta otra cosa, dándonos un capítulo de realidad a y un capítulo de realidad b, la autora nos lleva por un camino de crecimiento y entendimiento sobre el destino, sobre lo que sí está escrito se puede cambiar o mejor aún de si hay algo escrito o no
Me gustaría contar más pero ya sería entrar en spoilers, solo puedo decir que esta 10000 recomendado.

3,75 stars.
Very entertaining. Not my favorite TJR book, but still it was good.
Liked the message behind it, how you can only life in the present and face the consequences of your actions and decisions.
I loved the ending on both storylines but I feel like it could have been... more.

I guess the point is that both realities can be happening concurrently but that really stretches the boundaries of my brain function. I found myself liking one version of the story more than the other but not really loving the outcomes of either. This is not, imo, TJR’s best novel. It was cute, interesting, heart-wrenching but ultimately, just okay.

This book start out as a really good read. I found a lot of interesting patterns developing and I was immediately drawn in. It was until I hit about halfway when things came a little bit tedious. I could predict a few things happening and it was trying to linger around the same plots. I was hoping to get a bit of a surprise with a few things, but there wasn’t that much excitement in the last third of the book. The ending kept going when it should’ve probably finished much earlier and that is why I gave it under a four star rating. I would say, though that the first half the book was definitely a 4 1/2 star review but I guess my comparison to all of her other books were much different.

I liked the concept of the story, but the end got a bit long.
