This book was an amazing and mind-bending journey! Not at all what I expected, in the best way possible.
The story begins with Thora and Santi meeting in Cologne in many different lives and they play different roles in each one - as friends, lovers, siblings, parent/child and many more. They start to wonder why they are drawn to each other and why certain things keep recurring in each of their lives. Up until this point I would have rated this story as an interesting 4 star read.. but once they start to figure out what is happening the story just explodes! I would like to read or listen to it again because it is the kind of story that really makes you think about things differently. Netgalley's description of the book was "Joyful, devastating, and profound" and this is entirely accurate!

Catriona Silvey has a beautiful, soft writing style which gives us room to absorb the emotion and weight of the story, and Kristin Atherton's narration of the audiobook was fantastic: her accent alone would have me on board, but her narration was also emotional, gripping and thought provoking.

Wow. When I started this I wasn’t too sure what to expect. Santi and Thora live life after life with each other; siblings, lovers, father and daughter, friends.

The first third of the book felt like lots of novellas and I wondered where it was going. As time went on though, and Santi and Thora became more and more aware the story was beautiful.

I really hope that someone makes a film out of this because it would be amazing. I see why it says it will appeal to fans of Audrey Niffenegger.

Despite the beautiful narration and original idea, I couldn't get into this book. I tried to read it both in ebook and audio formats but it just wouldn't click in my head. I still love the idea and I wish the author all the success with their publication. This is very much a case of "it's not the book, it's me".
