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.

Embrace the Lace by Shannon MacLeod

Posted
Paisley Evangeline Darling (Van for short) attends a renaissance festival in the US, but somehow ends up in a pond in Scotland and is rescued by Andrew MacIver. Not only has she travelled across the world, she's also travelled in time - back to the 17th century. Add in some more low level magic, a nasty uncle and women competing for Andrew's reluctant hand in marriage.  Highly entertaining story with some slow romance and Van getting stuck into her new life and improving operations at Andy's castle.  This book is available now!  PS. I am not really sure what inspired the title of this book. #EmbraceTheLace #NetGalley
