The love of my other life by C.J. Connolly

Posted

This is a story, or rather TWO stories about 36-year-old Josie. The two stories are two versions of the life of Josie; in one she's single. lives in Brooklyn and works at a radio station, in the other she's married, lives a luxurious life and works in a high-flying marketing role.

The plot twist making this an extraordinary story, is when Josie is cycling to meet her friends for dinner but suddenly hears screeching of brakes and she crashes her bike. When she wakes up, she's thrown into a life which isn't the same as she was living before the crash.

Throughout the book we follow the lives of the two versions of Josie. Both are told in an engaging way, but personally I struggled with the parallell universe / multiverse approache it never feels believable. 

However, if you love stories like Sliding Doors (with Gwyneth Paltrow in the film adaptation) your are in for a treat!  


Thank You to NetGalley and Joffe Books for allowing me to read this parallell universe eARC. This book is available on 30 June 2022 and you can pre-order it now by clicking this link.

Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou

Posted
"Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou" - freely translated as " The one who killed the angels in hell". A bit late to reading this, but what a treat!!!  His language is beautiful, the connections to true events and living people are spot on, and the criticism of governments thought-provoking and necessary in a democratic-ish society.  Written in a completely different style to his other Hamilton and Ponti books i loved this one! I’ve already got the next one downloaded and will hopefully be in for another treat.  This book is so far only available in Swedish - unfortunately similar to most of Guillou's fabulous books!
