3.5 - Thank you so much to Berkley Romance for the advance copy of this!
Thank you PRH Audio for the complimentary ALC!

This book will be out on June 3rd, 2025.

I was drawn to this book from the title and the gorgeous cover!  And inside what such a delightful story that was nothing like what I thought it was going to be. As mentioned in a lot of my reviews, I do not tend to read the synopses so I am usually surprised when I read books and this was one that surprised me!

I was hooked from the book right away. The concept of these two people finding each other from a wrong number but ended up talking in two different timelines. Trippy! And this book also showcase how close two people can become simply by texting one another. I thought the way the author did the playful banter between the two characters was really well done. I also loved the relationship between both friend groups. Especially with this unique situation I love that Tressa Fay immediately had her friends in on what was happening and was there when Meryl's sister and friend appeared. They all just seemed like a really good group of friends and I liked seeing them work together to figure out what was happening with the timelines.

"If you can, try to think about this extraordinary glimpse into how time operates as proof that you never really lose anyone. You don't. All your love exists everywhere, all the time.

It was all great for the first 50% or so and then I started to become confused. I recognize that this could totally be a Stephanie thing as I sometimes will struggle with magical realism and in this case having that parallel universe where things are constantly changing.  But I did love the romance between Meryl and Tressa Fay. As I mentioned, it was amazing to see how much their relationship grew via texting in the one universe but then they spent time with each other in the other universe. I thought the intimacy was well done and you could feel their passion for one another through the pages. 

I paired my reading with the audiobook courtesy of PRH Audio and this one was narrated by Mia Hutchinson-Shaw. I always enjoy books narrated by Mia and this one is no exception. And honestly her narration is what helped carry that 2nd half of the book for me. 

Am I entirely certain I know why or how this happened? Not the slightest. 
But I still fairly enjoyed the book! 

This is a new to me author and I know she goes by a couple of different names. I would read her again.

If you are looking for a sapphic romance with friendship & that has magical realism - give this one a read!
