Review: With or Without You: Are you ever sure you made the right decision?

With or Without You: Are you ever sure you made the right decision? by Shari Low
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Imagine if you will, Sliding Doors meets One Day meets Cold Feet.

New Years' Eve 1999, Liv and Nate have decided to separate after six years of marriage because although they love each other, they aren't in love with each other. But at the stroke of midnight Nate says he's changed his mind, can they try again. This novel looks at how their lives, and those of their best friends, develop over 20 years depending on whether Liv agrees or disagrees with Nate's request.

First we see Liv's life without Nate, told through a series of events over the next 20 years, memorable birthdays, weddings, funerals, christenings etc. Then we see Liv's life with Nate and chart the similarities and differences. Are certain things inevitable, will people always end up together, or will one decision have implications for hundreds of people?

I can't really tell much more of the story without answering those questions. Suffice it to say I enjoyed this novel, set in Glasgow, the ups and downs of life over 20 years with a small group of friends. I can't even say which life I preferred!

Got this as a free read through Amazon Prime.
