Thoughts: Mixed Feelings; Cool iIdeas but Lacking in Execution

Review:
I Loved You in Another Life entices with the promise of a time-transcending romance, but its execution leaves mixed feelings. The exploration of loss and abandonment is poignant, yet slow pacing hampers engagement. Historical fiction flashbacks provide glimpses into characters Shosh and Evan's coming-of-age journey, and while narration is commendable, issues arise with the nonlinear timeline and frequent perspective changes. For fans of YA fantasy romance seeking a concise narrative with a unique take on love across lifetimes, this book may offer a sweet yet polarizing experience. Grateful for the opportunity to read, and others may enjoy if they are into the themes explored.
