“i love you, and i have loved you, and i will love you”

a surprisingly beautiful story about soulmates and the love they’ve shared over thousands years and lifetimes. there’s something so wholesome about a love so familiar and recognizable that you feel an undeniable tether to them in the next life again and again. a story for a true hopeless romantic. i appreciated the way the story explored so many types of love -heterosexual, homosexual, platonic, love shared between siblings, the love of a parent, etc. because love really does take on so many different forms.

i think i would have rated it higher if the resolution of the story had been done different. what would i have done differently? i haven’t a clue. but i feel like it just didn’t match the suspense building up to it and was a bit anticlimactic.

this was overall an enjoyable story that i would recommend to anyone who wants to read about love in every sense of the word.

This sounded so promising to me. The premise was unique and it’s hard to find fantasy storylines that you’ve never heard before, but unfortunately this one felt like a miss to me overall.

The idea is that this couple spends all of eternity falling in love again and then killing each other for the rest of time, and one of them doesn’t know why it happens.

In theory, this sounds so interesting. But honestly the fact that every chapter switched from them in another life to another life was just overall confusing and left me not actually caring about the main characters at all.

The reveal was neat. I will say that. That’s what made it 3 stars.

This book just wasn’t for me.

A love story for the ages, complex and trippy and beautifully written! At first, it felt incredibly similar to Addie La Rue. Then, it became its own story, unfurling over centuries. I appreciated the Gracie storyline, and it had me rooting for Evelyn to find a way. I was also surprised at the reasoning behind Evelyn and Arden’s intertwining fates, and felt like it was well done. Slow in some parts, but overall an interesting and meaningful story.

Just wow! This story is so beautifully woven, wonderfully written, and is still suspenseful with a twist I didn’t expect. It’s a poetic love story and a reflection on humanity and a thriller all in one. I finished with my heart feeling so sad yet so full. I loved it so much!!

Actually the most incredible piece of YA fiction I’ve ever read in my entire life. This was a MASTERPIECE unlike any I’ve ever read.

"I love you, I have loved you, and I will love you"

Amazing, beautiful, heartbreaking.
I will say, I wish there had been more clues throughout the story rather than just one big shock at the end. But overall I really enjoyed reading this!

As one of my most anticipated reads of the year, I am beyond devastated that I did not love this 😭

That being said, huge thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the arc. This just didn’t work for me like I’d hoped 💔

"Maybe that’s all love is, in the end. An endless tempting of fate."
I am unwell. This lyrical, poetic, and utterly stunning novel is a love story that defies time itself. It’s haunting, heartbreaking, and achingly beautiful—one of those books that lingers long after you turn the final page. Reincarnated lovers might just be my new favorite trope.
At its heart, Our Infinite Fates is about two souls trapped in an endless cycle of love and tragedy. In every lifetime, they are fated to meet, fall in love, and ultimately be forced to kill each other. It’s an impossible, gut-wrenching fate, and yet the story never loses its hopefulness. I don’t want to say too much about the plot—going in blind made it all the more powerful—but experiencing their different lives, seeing the echoes of their past selves in each new incarnation, was nothing short of mesmerizing. Each lifetime brought something fresh and compelling, adding layers to their history and making their love story feel even more profound.
“And I will always be yours. But I gave up the right to call you mine a long time ago.”
The writing is absolutely breathtaking. I’ve always been a fan of poetic prose, and Laura Steven is the master of it. Her words flow like music, rich with emotion and meaning, making even the smallest moments feel significant. The way she weaves past and present, fate and free will, love and loss—it’s art. Every passage is beautifully constructed, and I found myself highlighting entire sections just to revisit them later. The inclusion of poetry throughout the novel was another brilliant touch, adding an extra layer of intimacy to the story.
And that twist? I yelled. I genuinely had no idea what was coming, and when it was finally revealed, it hit me like a punch to the chest. The way Steven built up to that moment, scattering breadcrumbs along the way, was masterful. It’s one of those rare books that keeps you on edge, even as you’re completely immersed in the romance.
My only minor issue was the resolution at the end. While it didn’t ruin the experience for me, I found myself wishing for just a bit more—maybe a different outcome, maybe a little more closure. But even so, it didn’t take away from how deeply I loved this book.
The audiobook was also incredible. Sofia Oxenham’s narration was stunning, perfectly capturing the lyrical quality of the prose and the aching emotions of the characters. She truly brought this story to life, making the experience even more immersive.
"To love was to live, and to live was to die."
Our Infinite Fates is an unforgettable, soul-shattering story that will stay with me for a long time. It’s beautifully written, deeply emotional, and completely captivating. If you love poetic storytelling, star-crossed lovers, and a book that will wreck you in the best way possible, this is a must-read.
Huge thanks to NetGalley, Macmillan Audio, and Wednesday Books for the eARC.

Not your run-of-the-mill romantasy, Our Infinite Fates follows Evelyn and Arden, soulmates who have been forced into a cruel cycle of reincarnation in which they have to take each other's lives again and again, despite the love they continue to hold for each other over the course of a thousand years.

Our Infinite Fates presents us with a feast of cultures and a kaleidoscope of glimpses into intimate, isolated moments in past lives as we travel through time and place, class and gender, witnessing a tender, transcendental love story that defies the cruel nature of their entwined existence, that defies death itself. It is a love story built on courage, perseverance, hope and the very raw, human desire to live.

I think I am emotionally wounded. I'm talking, laying on the ground, staring at the selling crying type of emotionally wounded...

I'm pretty sure this is the best book I'll read this year, I would give this book 6 stars if I could. This story is beautifully written. It flows so easily, and it's impossible to put the book down. I read 75% of this book in one go. A major plus is all the poems included in the books; it gives you an insight into all the complicated feelings Arden has.

You see Arden and Evelyn's love story evolve through time. It's not a simple love story, but it's beautiful how they always find such comfort in the presence of the other no matter what is happening to them. Overall, this book is an amazing ode to love! I will definitely be purchasing a physical copy of it when it comes out! Thank you NetGalley, for giving me the chance to discover my new favourite author!

What a great book and fantastic love story of two souls reincarnating through time. I don't always enjoy books that flip back and forth between time plots, but it definitely worked for this book.

“Our Infinite Fates” will ensnare you a tragic love story that spans the ages. They find each other in every lifetime and fall in love, but Arden always kills Evelyn before they turn the age of 18. This concept will keep your turning the pages, intrigued to understand why this must happen in every lifetime. The book tells the story of their many lives, while Evelyn tries to piece together the origin of this curse.
Present-day Evelyn must live past the age of 18 in order to save her sister. She must find Arden and convince him to help her and let her live. This is a powerful story of love and the lengths we will go to for those we love.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC.

This was such a beautiful book! It was such an interesting premise, the writing style was beautiful and the love story was epic. I loved how this story was told in back and forth memories thru time, I also was pretty surprised with the big reveal. This was a unique and beautiful love story!

Thanks to NetGalley and Wednesday Boons for granting me access in exchange for an honest review.

Wow wow wow! This reminds me so much of DC Comics Hawkman and Hawkgirl’s reincarnation as two souls find each other after every death. I loved the alternating chapters that flickered between past and present, which gave a little more insight on just HOW long Arden and Evelyn have been reincarnating. A stellar execution of this story (and one that can be hard to put into words when writing with time elements)! I can’t wait to reread this in release day and see all of the stunning special editions!

Thank you NetGalley for the arc of this wonderful book!

3.5 ⭐️. This was absolutely beautifully written: poetic and lyrical. The plot was rather slow but there was just enough of a mysterious element to keep me going. Overall, I enjoyed the writing style but the story itself dragged a bit.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the ARC copy in exchange for my honest review.

"I love you, and I have loved you, and I will love you."

I've now read the e-book, and listened to the audio book and my god, a book has not been able to make me weep like this in so long.

As I've said before, this edit it was tragic and beautiful and I did not think I would like this book this much. And now? I see this being my favorite book of the year and possibly in my top ten book of all time. It's perfect. I feel like I'm never going to find something quite this special.

There's a Arden and Evelyn shaped hole in my heart and I don't know if I'll ever find something to fill it. I loved them as MCs and I loved that they transcended through, time, space, gender, and they could have hated each other but they never did. All of their lives were so meaningful, the good and the bad and then that ending.

Excuse me as I sob to death. I've pre-ordered the US HC, The Barnes and Noble Special Edition, and the UK edition. I am unwell.

To Simon/Alisha Misfit fans, Tsubasa fans, Your Name Fans, Greek Tragedy fans, to those who love "come-back-to-me" tropes or fated pairings? This is a love letter for you.

I want to start off by saying that I had really high expectations for the book as the premise is something I know I’ll enjoy. However I did not feel that the story delivered that epic love that I was expecting.

Evelyn and Arden are fated to kill each other in every life right before they turn 18. But why?

The story primarily follows their current reincarnation where Evelyn has a baby sister with cancer, and is her donor match. And as she is close to turning 18, she becomes worried that Arden will show up and kill her before she can donate her stem cells to her sister. Arden, of course, shows up as they do in every life and Evelyn begins to plot for a way out of their predicament. And in between, we get glimpses of some of their previous lives which was refreshing to read. However I felt as though their love story wasn’t properly explored and explained in the book. We get partial stories and a lot of explanations that they just have intense love and feelings for one another - it’s their fate - but we never truly got to see them falling in love.

We, of course, approach the 18th birthday and we find out why this keeps happening to them - which I found to be lacking in set up and rushed. However I really did enjoy the last two chapters of the book and the way it ended.


Thank you St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I was excited to read this one when I heard that it was comped to Addie LaRue, and for the most part I think that's a pretty decent comp. Plot wise it's not overly similar, but the underlying feeling of the story does remind me of it enough that I think if you liked one you'll probably like the other. I think Steven has done a good job crafting the narrative here, and I really enjoyed getting to see the iteration we're currently in play all the way out, as well as the peppering in of past lives as well. Combined I think it created a fuller story and really helped with getting to know our two main characters. I also have to say that the twists at the end were both surprising and well done. I don't think I saw either of them coming, and yet both of them made sense and worked. I also loved the fact that our love interests weren't always strictly male and female. Sure, they were in the main storyline, but we got to see them all throughout history and they varied what sex they were from time to time. This to me is something that I think was done really well, especially because it cements the idea of soul mates as being something that transcends sex and gender, which is how it really should be. I think my only real complaint with this book is that I think it might have worked just a little better if we could have gotten the perspective of the MMC (in our main timeline our lead is female and her soulmate is male, although as stated above both of these things change based on the iteration of reincarnation) too. But really that's such a small thing, because overall it did work, and that's pretty much what I say about every book. I can also see why it wasn't included, so I can't fault the author too much for it. So far this is certainly a highlight of my reading this year, and I foresee big things for this book when it comes out. I'll almost certainly be writing a shelf talker for this when it comes out, and I'll probably be buying a copy of it for my shelf when it comes out as well. It has also made me curious about Steven's backlist titles, and I'll also be keeping an eye on whatever some comes out with next, because this cements her as an author to watch in my book.

❤️‍🔥 Soulmate

The best way to read it, is by going totally blind.

The book alter between their past lives and the present. We see how they loved each other, but also how they killed themself. In every life, before their 18 birthday Arden killed Evelyn. Sometimes she killed him first, but every time he’s there. Each lives they change physically, but they always find each other.

The ending surprised me. I didn’t expect that, but I didn’t like the open kinda ending.

I wish this book was more, but I can’t stop thinking about it even if I finished it weeks ago.

Spoiler-free review: Our Infinite Fates
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.75

Laura Steven is a creative genius and took me on an incredible journey with this novel. I absolutely LOVED this story and every substory within! I highly encourage everyone to read it when released next week. Our Infinite Fates is a stunning tale about the power of love, no matter the length of time, period of history, or bodies inhabited.

The novel follows a couple’s love story through multiple lives, each ending with death before they turn 18. Evelyn doesn’t know why Arden hunts her through every reincarnation, but decides in one life to do whatever she can to prevent this fate…

I absolutely adored reading about the progression of their love through so many different lives in copious locations. Only critique is I wish we’d gotten a little more depth earlier in the novel on *why* they were so in love because it was slightly hard to believe until the big reveal. Steven does an amazing job providing the backstory for their various relationships in all their past lives and I really enjoyed the bouncing between present day and all their pasts. Though certain bits were predictable, I absolutely did not expect a couple of things and was giddy with surprise!

Steven’s prose was beautiful and felt so raw and real. Each chapter was thought provoking and I found myself highlighting quote after quote after quote! The entire message surrounding love and loss and the human experience as a whole was beyond well executed. What is the meaning of life? How much loss can one survive? Is there such thing as a soulmate? This story was hauntingly beautiful and the most welcome reminder to make the most of every joy, no matter how small.

Thank you SO very much to Laura Steven, Wednesday Books, and NetGalley for the eARC - The opinions in this review are left here honestly & voluntarily.
