Although initially confused about what was happening, once I got into the book I realised that it was operating on a ‘sliding door’s’ narrative arc. Sadly, the eventual outcome seemed so obvious that there was no real question in my mind and the characters were, for the most part, simply too two-dimensional for me to really get onboard with it.

At first, I didn't quite "get" the different timelines, and got a little confused as to why things are happening twice and at different times, but then I understood how the book was written(pardon me..I can be a bit slow sometimes 😄 🤣)!

I really enjoyed this one, there’s just something about this author that draws me in and makes me all cozy while I read their books. I loved reading through the two timelines for the different options she faces, does she choose her ex or start new? I couldn’t figure out who I should root for in this one for a while because both options seemed good for Becca. The banter was absolutely hilarious and I couldn’t help but absolutely adore Becca’s friends. Becca is a hairstylist in her own salon in her mid thirties and she’s finally ready to settle down and find Mr Right. After a manifestation session in the salon she chooses to manifest the love of her life and not long after she gets a text from her ex. Is this a sign? She even goes as far as to hold a manifestation ceremony for him on the Summer Solstice - and when she receives a text from her ex five minutes later, she knows it's a sign. Oh I wanted to love this book I really did. The switching between events was a little too much, I couldn’t keep up with what was happening when and with who with the two different narratives. Laura Jane Williams (she/her) is known as the queen of the meet-cute. She is the author of six novels and a novella.Unfortunately I couldn’t make it past the first 2 chapters, I’m extremely disappointed but I don’t necessarily think it was the authors fault at all, I just couldn’t get into the writing style and that’s more of a me problem than anything else!

Fireworks are great, big laughs and huge passions – but day in and day out, it’s nice to rub alongside somebody comfortably. A lot of life is just sitting beside somebody else, after all. Sitting on the sofa. On a plane somewhere. Being side by side when you drive in the car.’Thank you for joining project epicpdf.com one more step for saving everlasting masterpieces of great minds of all nations and times. I can't remember the last time a book made me forget I had a phone. Pure escapist fiction!' Stacey Halls Read more Look Inside Details I love books and films like this where you get to see both of the what ifs play out. I find it really interesting and also quite scary that even the smallest decision can impact the way the rest of your life turns out. But then there’s also fate. Does everything happen for a reason? If it’s meant to be, will it happen anyway? Regardless of what decisions you make. This book definitely inspired some serious existential thinking!!

Also it’s set in Kings Heath and the surrounding areas! Which meant I could picture it so well having grown up not far from there! Extra brownie points for being set in my home turf of Birmingham! It's an amazing, vibrant city and it doesn't get as much positive press as it deserves. I will say that the speech patterns in particular were excellent! I could hear these characters voices so clearly! Maybe I’m just not in the right mental headspace for this book as I have just finished a long dark book series.

I loved the ending and was willing Becca to make the right decision and I even shed a few tears towards the end as I was so invested in her making the right choice. A fluffy romance with a twist indeed. Once it became clear where it was leading I found myself really cheering for the characters and the ending - Oh it made my heart happy! Firstly, a big thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House (Cornerstone) for the ARC and the opportunity to read this fabulous story. When Becca convinces her friends to join her in performing a manifestation ritual, she declares to whoever might be in charge of such things that a year from now, she will be married to her one true love. She even goes as far as to hold a manifestation ceremony for him - and when she receives a text from her ex five minutes later, she knows it's a sign.
