Liking a specific type of food is not a personality trait and it definitely doesn’t need to be mentioned as many times as it does in this book. We make small talk as she makes her way out of the garage and navigates the streets leading us to the freeway. Her bestie Gabby's family took her in during her earlier years while Hannah's own family was abroad, and Hannah has been fumbling her way through adulthood, not knowing which way to turn. In the movie that gave us the phrase, it’s literally simply whether or not Gwyneth Paltrow’s character catches a subway train or has to wait for the next one.

And then the book proceeds by exploring both scenarios, in alternate chapters, and the path that each scenario leads to. life is just a series of breaths in and out, all I really have to do in this world is breath in and then breathe out.Even though two people may be in love, it doesn’t mean that life naturally leads straight-away to their happily-ever-after. But after the fact, I did get to thinking about the things I didn’t like, and it left me kind of scratching my head as to why I enjoyed it so much.

It’s entirely possible that every time we make a decision, there is a version of us out there somewhere who made a different choice. I also thought about this book pretty much the entire time that I was listening to it and I have a feeling Hannah will stay with me for a very long time!We are experiencing delays with deliveries to many countries, but in most cases local services have now resumed.

I appreciated this aspect of the tale and it did give me a chance to reflect heavily on the decisions we make, as well as the possibility of living a very different life through a rather subtle choice. I got stuck on the G train for an hour and forty-five minutes when a train broke down at Greenpoint Avenue. When I come out of the gate, Gabby is holding up a sign that says “Hannah Marie Martin,” as if I wouldn’t recognize her, as if I wouldn’t know she was my ride. And as you read the book, you’ll see exactly how that possibility unfolds and let me tell you, it kept my heart RACING!

We get two alternate universes that depend on whether Hannah stays with Ethan at the bar or whether she leaves with Gabby and her husband. Even after I got over him, I was never able to extinguish the fire completely, as if it’s a pilot light that will remain small and controlled but very much alive.
