Summary
Do we become who we are because of our parents, or in spite of them?
Fern's mother is a social climber and a former ballet dancer who lives a plush life in a London townhouse.
Fern's father only climbs if there's a bottle at the top, has an IQ of 133 and lives hand-to-mouth in Californian motels.
Aged 14, Fern has spent equal time with each of her parents. That is, until an unexpected visitor triggers a life-changing dilemma – whether she should get on a plane to London to be with her mother, or stay in California with her father. Here, Fern's narrative splices in two.
Two possible lives, one person. Each Fern will grow in wildly different, but eerily similar directions. Both must determine who they want to be – and how they deal with a thorny problem which threatens to undo them all: a murder.

An intriguing story, well two stories!
The uniqueness of approach, both versions of the girl being equally plausible and engaging, makes for a fabulous listen. Sliding Doors and the Midnight Library lend credence but are both surpassed in this bold, adventurous debut novel.
I have completed in less than three days - a measure of my pleasure.

Great book. Loved the characters. Top notch Narration
I really enjoyed this book. You have to keep a careful grasp of the timeline jumps and the different storylines but it’s worth it for the results. I feel like I’m going to miss these characters and it was really interesting to follow the paths of all the different people and their intertwining stories. Very clever. Brilliantly written andsuperbly narrated.

An engaging journey through life's what-ifs.
Catherine Gray paints a powerful picture how our choices shape who we become, offering a thought provoking narrative about love, self discovery, and personal growth.
Narrated beautifully by Maeve Smyth this audiobook enhances the emotional journey, making each version of Fern's life feel deeply personal and relatable.

Fabulous 👌
Love Caths writing, my favourite life changing author. I held back a bit on this one as I don't read "fiction much...however the story had me absolutely gripped and being from Derry Maeve"s narration took me home for a while. 5 stars from me 😊
