I really enjoyed this book. The premise that the essential flipping of the coin could decide your fate one way or another. This books explores 2 of those possible options. Both are beautiful stories in their own right, and both prove that you are the product of your decisions.

3.5 stars. I enjoyed this one but it didn’t really wow me. I never felt a huge connection with Hannah or Hannah with either of the two love interests. I really just wanted the book to end up being about her friendship with Gabby. But it’s an interesting concept.

I liked the premise of this book and liked characters and the strong friendship bond between gabby and Hannah but was really disappointed with the ending, it felt very abrupt and unfinished. I was invested in Hannah and Ethans backstory and it all felt rather flat at the end.

One of my favorite books I’ve read. I loved the butterfly effect and was written so well

I thought it was about something else like a bucket list or something. I really did not enjoy this book. It took me forever to finish reading this book. The main character was so freaking annoying all she talked about was cinnamon buns.
