The Versions of Us

DNF at 29%.

WAY too confusing at the beginning, but got easier (for a while, until they started adding in grandchildren et al. But solid 3.5 stars for cool concept.

I thought this was very good and thought-provoking. It definitely requires some work on the reader's part to keep track of the characters and events of the different versions, but the effort is worth it. I think it might be even more meaningful on a second read, when you can go back and catch the factors that link and distinguish the versions.

I liked this. It was a very character focused book. It was interesting to see how their lives were changed by just a few small decisions. Though as much as I enjoyed it I don't think it was very realistic. It is very romanticised, the thought that a tiny decision like going for a drink could so entirely change your life.

Another slight technical problem I had was that it was quite difficult to tell what timeline I was in. However this may be because I was reading an eARC and the headings were not quite clear enough, as such it was easy to miss them entirely. Other than that it was a pretty good book.
