Summary
At the age of twenty-nine, Hannah Martin has lived in six different cities and held countless meaningless jobs. On the heels of leaving yet another city, Hannah moves back to Los Angeles and takes up residence in her best friend Gabby's guestroom. Hannah goes out to a bar one night with Gabby and meets up with her high school boyfriend, Ethan. Just after midnight, Gabby asks Hannah if she's ready to go. A moment later, Ethan offers to give her a ride later if she wants to stay. Hannah hesitates. What happens if she leaves with Gabby? What happens if she leaves with Ethan? In concurrent storylines, Hannah lives out the effects of each decision. Quickly, these parallel universes develop into radically different stories with large-scale consequences for Hannah, as well as the people around her.
The narrator in this book sounded like she spoke in a whisper the entire time, and needs work on male voices. The story itself was not that great either; the recurring words "cinnamon roll" got really annoying after a while. The book was mildly entertaining, but I would not recommend it.
*THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS*
I really liked the idea behind this book. Going back and forth from one lifeline to the other was relatively easy to follow and an interesting concept. Hannah tended to anger me a bit, especially when dealing with her parents. She was too harsh with them and I didn't feel like they did a lot to deserve that treatment. The hospital scene where she tried to hunt down Henry was a bit silly and come on, it was his job she was messing with. The narrator had a bit of trouble with male voices, they all tended to sound the same. Overall, it was a pleasant listen for a slow, lazy afternoon.
