Trigger Warnings:

What a beautifully heartbreaking story. I loved it so much I’m little surprised, Meet Me in Another Life is a very surprising and unpredictable story, part of what made this book such an enjoyable read was being completely taken surprise by the journey it took.

Thora and Santi have met before...

Under the clocktower in central Cologne, with nothing but the stars above and their futures ahead.

They will meet again...

They don't know it yet, but they'll meet again: in numerous lives they will become friends, colleagues, lovers, enemies - meeting over and over for the first time, every time; each coming to know every version of the other.

Only they can make sure it's not for the last time.

But as they're endlessly drawn together and the lines between their different lives begin to blur, they are faced with one question: why?

They must discover the truth of their strange attachment before this, and all their lives, are lost forever.

The first half or so of the story is a little repetitive as we’re told story after story of how Thora and Santi meet throughout their various lifetimes, from siblings to teacher and pupil to lovers (not as gross as it sounds I assure you! Haha) but it’s necessary to set the scene with a complex story such as this one.

Thora and Santi are complex and frustrating, well written and developed characters, Meet Me in Another Life is a beautiful and thought provoking story and one of my favourite reads of the year!
