About The Author
My Review
This is a tender and thought-provoking exploration of fate, choice, and the many possible versions of a life. At its heart is Anna, a woman at a crossroads, where a single decision has the power to set her on one of two very different paths.
The story opens with a hopeful date and a fortune teller’s prediction: Anna’s future lies with a man whose name begins with J. When James suddenly disappears and Edward—kind, steady, and dependable—enters her life, Anna is left with a choice that reshapes everything. Pearson crafts a beautifully layered dual narrative, showing us two possible futures that are equally compelling, filled with moments of joy, heartbreak, and quiet revelation. What makes the novel shine is Pearson’s warm, lyrical prose and her ability to bring authenticity to her characters. Anna feels deeply relatable, and the themes of love, friendship, identity, and self-acceptance are interwoven with tenderness. Rather than simply posing a “what if?” scenario, the book asks a more profound question: what truly matters when we decide how to live?
Overall, this is an uplifting yet contemplative read—a gentle reminder that every path holds its own kind of magic.
