Pros:
Super interesting premise, and I really liked the ending.
The friendship between Hannah and Gabby was super well written and their dynamic was lovely.
Cons:
It was soooooo repetitive when it came to the 'meant to be' dialogue. In almost every chapter one of the characters talks about how important choices are and how they were destined to be on this path and how your soulmate feels like The One and how if this thing happened to them it must be For A Reason.
We get it. This is a book about destiny. A bit less tell a bit more show please!
The audiobook narrator did a good job except the voice done for all the male characters sounded exactly the same. I couldn't keep track of them at all which made knowing if a scene was Ethan or Henry really difficult.
