The Other Us by Fiona Harper
5.0
I really enjoyed this unusual read. Reminiscent of films like Sliding Doors, it tells the story of Maggie, a mid 40s wife and mum who is thoroughly disillusioned with her life. A snap decision to attend a college reunion where she knows she will see her 'one that got away' unlocks two alternative timelines exploring the 'what if' that most people occasionally wonder.
It's a beautifully written book which explores the mundanity of both sides of her two lives. There aren't really any dramatic plot twists, instead we accompany Maggie on her complex journey to find peace, in whichever life she ends up in.
