You Were There Too (Oakley) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
(Starred review) Oakley blends an old-fashioned love story with a fresh psychic mystery for a satisfying look at commitment, forgiveness, and fate in this can’t-put-it-down story.… There is a splendid blend of humor throughout Oakley’s…foreboding love-conquers-all tale.
Publishers Weekly


[P]oignant… [with] a fascinating premise.… [T]he tension between Mia and Harrison, the fortuneteller and Oakley’s breezy writing all encourage the reader to stick with the book, which tells a sad story to a bouncy beat. Full of misdirection and a few gentle red herrings..
BookPage


(Starred review) Oakley keeps readers wondering… about Mia and Oliver, while the emotional journey… is realistic. Keep a box of tissues handy—the ending is a gut-punch that will leave readers who have invested in these beautifully drawn characters reeling.
Booklist


Readers expecting a simple happily-ever-after should look elsewhere, but those looking for a Me Before You-style sobfest are in the right place. A heartbreaking and thought-provoking exploration of fate, love, and choice sure to bring on a few tears.
