Thank you for the opportunity of reading this!
What if you could rewrite your life? Or have a new life?
That's what you will get with this book ( meet Sarah and Other Sarah)
I enjoyed the concept of parallel life's, reminded me of another book I read previously that I also enjoyed!

This was a great book. The story was captivating and kept me interested throughout. Can’t wait for more from this author.
I DNFed this. I could not get into the writing style and immediately became bored with the play by play of her life.
I received and ARC of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Sarah can see an alternate versions of herself and certain other pivotal people in her life. It is an interesting novel about choices and destiny.
I liked the idea of the book a lot--a women who sees another version of herself in the mirror. It didn't go quite where I thought it would--the main character was kind of nuts but I liked it. The ending was muddled and confusing though.
Consider this!
What if your life had taken another path or decisions you made were different? This book differently makes you wonder about your own life.
I enjoyed this book as the parallel lives were written well which made it an interesting read along with the suspense and the great imagination from Stacey.
Good story about parenting and life choices. The parallel lives are a good representation of life choices and the Stacey was able to get two families together even in a parallel world. Good work!
Don't we all yearn to know what would have happened if we had followed a different path? Sarah has the unlikely ability to see her other self, the self who made different choices than those she made. But although Sarah initially believes that the Other Sarah doesn't make "good choices", she comes to yearn for the life she created - so much so that Sarah moves across the country to try to find true love with the man Other Sarah married. Wallace gives us an interesting read with rich characters and an usual but strangely believable plot. Very enjoyable and quick read.
In the beginning, I was really intrigued by the premise.. Unfortunately, there were some little errors here and there that I began focusing on. Then I started getting annoyed with Sarah..and then was completely confused by Part III for the last 20% of the book that I just had to walk away....
Let's see... I am almost 100% sure there was no Tower Records in Marina del Rey in the '80s and '90s. Weswood? Yes. Hollywood? Yes. Marina del Rey? No. That city had a Warehouse records near the old UA theater and the original Aunt Kizzie's Back Porch Kitchen and then there was either a Sam Goody or some other chain at Lincoln and Washington - but never a Tower Records. When Sarah first goes into Brennan's (which does exist and is still there - Home of the Turtle Races!) she's wearing hot pants in the parking lot and then a dress that blows up as she enters the bar. Which one was it?
As much as I liked Sarah as a character I just felt she was spending way too much time comparing her life to the one she saw in the other dimension. Why not just live your life? Would these people be in your life if you didn't have the secret portal to the other world?
What started out great just turned into a confused mess.
