I've been thinking of reading this, Laura Steven keeps showing up on my newsfeed, 'local author's novel reaches number 1'. I'll definitely be checking it out now!
I agree with Nicole. I enjoyed reading Life after Life and The Invisible Life of Addie la Rue, so I'm intrigued by the concept of this book, though I wonder why they have to kill each other over and over... What's the level of violence in this book?
Good question! It’s there but with a light touch, it’s not gratuitous and more emphasis is placed on their feelings, also it’s a good reason for it which I won’t say as that would be a spoiler - I haven’t read life after life but I am going to go check it out thank you! X
Lovely review, Lisa, and you're tempting me to try YA as well, or at least, Laura's book! So many books, so little time.... The concept reminded me of Kate Atkinson's Life after Life - I love that idea of second chances, Sliding Doors (the film), if only etc. One more on the TBR pile!
Thanks Nicki - two life After life references - I am going off to check it out as I don’t know what to read from my tbr pile next! So many books - so little time could be our mantra, I love it!
