In a Nutshell: Time-transcending true love | I was mightily impressed by The Next Together, the first in this epically ambitious sequence of books about a fated couple who are born over and over, and this continuation of their tale takes the stakes to even higher levels.
To set the scene for the uninitiated, Katherine and Matthew are destined to be born again and again and, during the course of each of their lives, their paths cross, and they fall in love. While their actions may change the course of history for the better, they’re destined to lose one another, again and again. This sequel picks up sixteen years on from The Next Together, with Clove Sutcliffe seeking to solve the seemingly unfathomable mystery around what happened to her lost relatives. But unravelling the shocking complexities of this buried secret brings unimaginable risks.
As with its predecessor, the romance is heart-rending, the plot perfectly-paced and the integration of diverse forms of writing (personal letters, messaging, biographical texts, transcripts of CCTV footage) is done with super smart skill - all of which adds up to an immensely satisfying, immersive reading experience. ~ Joanne Owen
