The Other Year
by Rea Frey
emotional
reflective
fast-paced
Kate and her daughter Olivia go vacationing at the beach. We get a split of two different timelines- one where Olivia dies in a drowning accident and one where Olivia makes it through.
The chapters with Olivia having passed especially at the beginning of that timeline are really gut-wrenching. I found myself crying multiple times.
But through both of these timelines, Kate gets to really discover herself and what she really would love to do in honor of Olivia or for Olivia. Also throughout both these timelines her best friend, Jason, is there for her. They even contemplate taking their relationship to a different level. Things always have an interesting way of working out and though I wanted certain things to maybe happen one way, I feel good about the way that they ended up being.
