Oh I just loved reading 'You Are Here', a romcom with the right level of intrigue mixed in to keep me gripped, and plenty of cliff-hangers in each section to keep me reading on!
Ellie has always struggled to make a decision, almost paralysed in her decision making by spending ages thinking about what might happen in all possible scenarios and unable to commit to anything.

The book starts on her wedding day but she's not sure that the groom is the One for her so she goes back through her life trying to see what has brought her to this point and if she can decide what the right way forward is.

The story was so cleverly crafted, at each junction you can see what would happen in either scenario, from her choice of university and choice of subject, to what happened after university - where she lived, what job she has, who she dates, and the infinite way that each choice spirals out with wide reaching consequences was brilliantly thought through. There are some consistent characters as well as Ellie, her best friend from childhood and her university friends, who have had their own lives affected by various decisions Ellie has made through her life.

As someone who can struggle to make a decision quickly, I fully empathised with Ellie and her indecisive nature, I have spent lots of time thinking 'what if....' - and this was explored well. The book kept me thinking and keen to find out where Ellie would end up.

Thanks to Little, Brown for the ARC- 4.5 stars rounded up!

A quick and easy read that was interesting and compelling. I found it took me a while to get into but once I did I was hooked

You are Here was fantastic. I love Eva Woods work and her writing. I related so much to her prose and premise, I thought Ellie was a great character. I love how she evaluates her choices and his they gift her to where she is today. I think so many y people can relate. I was so excited to see what path she takes. I will be sharing a much longer review and thoughts soon. But I honestly will share, promote, and anxiously be awaiting her next title. I can’t say enough good things,
5/5

It's the morning of Ellie Warren's wedding day and she's hiding under her childhood bed. She can't shake the feeling that she isn't where she's supposed to be - getting married, that is - but has no idea where exactly she should be.

As Ellie looks back on the biggest decisions she's made in her life, the ones that have led her to this moment, you'll see the choices she made as well as what could have been. You'll see everything Ellie has avoided and everything she's gone through; the highs and the lows.

But the big question is this: has Ellie taken a wrong turn somewhere? Or is she exactly where she's meant to be?

You Are Here is about how the tiniest of choices can cause ripples through our lives. It explores what could have been while also reminding us to have a little faith in what's about to happen.

I usually look books by eve woods but I just couldnt get into this one and o unfortunately dnf it. I don’t know if it was me or the book but I couldn’t gel with the main character and I just found the storyline a bit tedious.

An interesting take on the ‘sliding doors’ idea, where you get to see what would happen in your life if you’d made different choices at key moments in your life. Ellie is about to get married, but instead of having her hair and make up done, she’s hiding under her bed in her childhood room, wondering if she’s doing the right thing, or should she take a chance and do something completely different. The story then visits each choice that she’s made over the years to see what would have happened, had she made two different choices - from moving to Paris, having a baby to becoming a doctor. Interesting concept and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Recommended.

I have read and loved all of this aunties other books so I was looking forward to
Reading this one.

This is a very relatable story about life
And the choices we make
And how those choices shape
The future. Those of a
Certain age will also be able to relate and reflect on the various life changing events which are mentioned in the novel particularly if you were growing up in the 1990s and can remember all of
The hype surrounding the advent. Of the millennium.

The book was split into the different storylines based on the decisions and
Choices that Ellie could make and the paths that she actually chose. I found this a little confusing at first but then got into the swing of it.

This book was certainly different to the style of the authors other books
And look forward
To seeing what she writes next.
