A modern-day Christmas Carol. Ben finds himself a bit put out, disgruntled, sitting in a bar chatting with a stranger. His world goes sideways when he get to see his past, present, and future if he'd chosen a different path or different person as it were.

It's a bit of a "midlife crisis" kind of book and my favorite character of all was Ben's mother. Written in a very straightforward manner I would have loved a bit more fleshing out, but overall a nice read with some holiday atmosphere.

From the Cover...
A chance encounter leads to the journey of a lifetime in this powerful and emotional love story, perfect for fans of One Day, Me Before You and In Five Years.
If you could turn back the clock, would you choose a different life?

Ben’s always loved the month of December, but this year, with his relationship with Daphne on the rocks, it’s missing its usual magic. And then his old friend Alice gets back in touch. Ben’s always thought of Alice as the one that got away, and he can’t help but wonder: what if he’d done things differently all those years ago?

He never imagines he might get to find out… but when a stranger sells Ben a mysterious watch one freezing winter’s night, he’s astonished to wake up the next morning on 5th December 2005: the day he first kissed Daphne, leaving Alice behind.

Now Ben must make the biggest decision of his life, all over again. But this time around, will he finally find the courage to follow his heart?

All About Us is a captivating novel of heartbreak and loss, friendship and hope – and how the choices we make throughout our lives will shape our destiny.
