For fans of The Love of My Afterlife and The Seven Year Slip, Reese’s Book Club LitUp Fellow Natalie Messier’s heartfelt contemporary romance debut follows a woman who gets a second chance at a formative time in her adult life—this time to win the “one that got away.”
Joey Vasquez’s life is the definition of good on paper. At thirty-two, she’s a lawyer on the cusp of making partner, she owns her house in Los Angeles, and she almost keeps pace with her doctor sister in her parents’ eyes.
When she reluctantly arrives at the very couple-y dinner party hosted by Elijah Aarons, the best friend she’s secretly pined after for fourteen years, she’s dismayed to find that the last person on earth she’d ever want to see again is also there: Alex Aquino. Your basic rich Silicon Beach bro a*****e. The night couldn’t possibly get worse—and then she dies.
When Joey is given a second chance at life, she finds herself eighteen again, the year she first met both Elijah and Alex. Armed with memories from her first life, Joey is certain she’s come back to finally convince the one man she ever loved to love her back—so why does she find herself strangely drawn to the man she thought she hated?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Even the miracle of time travel can’t make love uncomplicated in this sparkling rom-com. Joey is a successful lawyer with a deeply disappointing personal life. She’s at a party held by Ellie, the friend she’s been secretly in love with since college, when she not only learns he and his wife are having a baby, she also has to put up with Alex, her longtime nemesis, who’s recently become a pompous billionaire. The night couldn’t get worse—until she dies in a car accident. But in the afterlife, Joey gets a pleasant surprise: the chance to return to any point in her life and do things differently. We had butterflies as we followed Joey back to her college years, where she’s determined to pursue the love with Ellie she was always meant to have. But as the delightful twists unfold, she discovers that being a 32-year-old soul in an 18-year-old body isn’t the magical solution it’s cracked up to be. Every Version of You is a fantastic read about what it really means to become your authentic self.
