This novel had lots of twists and turns- the narration shifted between characters and left me guessing until the very end.  It seemed a bit too long, but I’m not sure what could have been cut out. Overall, this was a fun thriller with great characters and fun plot twists.

This was a slower-paced romance, but ironically I felt the escalation of the romance was a bit too fast. The third-act breakup and lack-of-communication tropes were definitely present, which I don’t mind but also don’t love.  Overall, a sweet and relatable love story with well-developed characters that just fell a little flat for me at times. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Putnam for the ARC. 

Laura Pearson tells the best stories- and “The Woman Who Met Herself” is no different!  
This story follows twins Debbie and Ruth, who only learn of each other by chance in their early 60s.  It’s a story about family (both found and biological), relationships, friendships, forgiveness, and love.  It’s a beautiful, feel-good story that leaves you feeling grateful for the people who matter in your life.

The Love Haters is a fun, breezy rom-com that has a deep underlying message; while our protagonist is involved in a love-story with another character, she is also undergoing a transformative love story with herself.  This novel is fun and flirty, yet also introspective and meaningful.  I definitely suggest The Love Haters for anyone looking for a fun romance with fun characters, witty banter, and deeper themes.
