For fans of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and Life After Life, a powerful and poignant genre-bending debut novel about a man and woman who must unravel why they continue to meet in different versions of reality--a thrilling and imaginative exploration of the infinite forms of love and how our choices can change everything.

Thora and Santi have met before. They will meet again. Only they can make sure it's not for the last time.

Thora and Santi are strangers in a foreign city when a chance encounter intertwines their fates. At once, they recognize in each other a kindred spirit--someone who shares their insatiable curiosity, who is longing for more in life than the cards they've been dealt. Only days later, though, a tragic accident cuts their story short.

But this is only one of the many connections they share. Like satellites trapped in orbit around each other, Thora and Santi are destined to meet again: as a teacher and brilliant student; a caretaker and dying patient; a cynic and believer. In alternating realities they become friends, colleagues, lovers, and enemies. As blurred memories and strange patterns compound, Thora and Santi come to a shocking revelation--they must discover the truth of their mysterious attachment before their many lives come to one, final end.

By turns joyful, devastating, and quietly profound, Meet Me in Another Life is a spectacularly compelling page-turner filled with astonishing twists that affirms the power of love to connect us beyond time and space.

"Entirely surprising, thoroughly enjoyable . . . A truly captivating work with an ending that rocked my socks off." -- Erika Swyler, author of Light From Other Stars and The Book of Speculation

Meh

Meet Me in Another Life by Catriona Silvey Two people, Infinite lifetimes and one impossible choice. I haven’t archived this book yet. I have to spend some time and read it again. Our main two characters keep meeting in life after life and in different roles. The story was a slow pace at the beginning, and it took off, the characters in the first chapter seem a little cliché. but even then there is a bit of depth to Thora & Santi. I loved how they changed & stayed the same, much as people do. The end of the book was mostly satisfying, though it did leave me with a few questions. Overall, it was enjoyable though I’m not sure if this would be a strong recommendation to other readers

Incredible, unexpected, and instantly one of my favorite books

This is possibly my favorite book EVER; definitely top 5 and I read a lot. This was so much more than the synopsis and so very unexpected. It's the most original story I've read and I honestly cannot say enough good things about it. The writing itself is great, the story never drags. At different times throughout the book, it was reminiscent of Adjustment Bureau meets The Truman Show meets The Good Place...and yet entirely it's own story. A five star rating isn't enough for this book.
