#BlogTour: Maybe Next Time by Cesca Major @CescaMajor @fictionpubteam @HarperCollinsUK #MaybeNextTime #CescaMajor #RandomThingsTours

Book Synopsis:

Even the greatest love stories end. But what if this one didn’t have to?

_________________________________________________________________

Emma is having the worst day of her life. Frustrating. Chaotic. And the only person who could make it better is gone by the
end of the day.

Yet even worse than all of that: Emma keeps waking up to the same day, over and over again.

But what if this is a sign things could be different? Can Emma change the heartbreaking end to this love story?

My Review:

Maybe Next Time is a beautiful, emotional and thought provoking timeslip book that will stay with me.

Firstly I absolutely loved Emma who I felt was a very realistic character that I had a lot of sympathy for. I find it hard enough to juggle kids and a part time job so I can well imagine how hard things were for Emma with all the extra responsibilities she has. The story is told from Emma’s point of view but interspersed with letters that Dan has written to Emma on their anniversary each year. I really liked this as it gave me a better insight into the couple and their history while also seeing how things had changed for the couple in the present.

I found this book incredibly thought provoking as it made me think about my own life and all the people or things that I take for granted. It was very emotional to watch Emma have to relive the worst day of her life and realise the mistakes she’s made in her own life. I really felt for her as she tried desperately to change the outcome and as she realised what was actually important in her life.

This book starts off a bit slowly as we learn more about Emma and her busy life but soon becomes very gripping. I soon found myself very invested in the story and had to keep reading to find out if Emma manages to change things. The ending was very emotional and I found myself fully sobbing by the end. This was actually the first book I’ve read by this author but I’ll definitely be reading more from her in the future.

Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Harper Collins for my copy of this book via Netgalley, though as you can see, I did purchase my own copy too.
