Today I’m kicking off the blog tour for The Many Futures Of Maddy Hart. My review is written with thanks to Rachel Gilbey at Rachel’s Random Resources for inviting me on the tour and to the publisher for my copy of the book.

Blurb:

Suddenly Maddy is right there… in her own future. And it’s all wrong, yet again.

It happens to her every time. When the kisses lead to the bedroom, just when she thinks she might have found the one… Just for a split second, Maddy disappears, and she finds that she’s living her own life. But ten years from now.

She’s only in the future for a little while. But each time, it’s long enough to know that she doesn’t want to be any of those versions of Maddy. Because every man she falls for seems to lead her to a life that is just… wrong.

Until she meets Oliver. And the vision of what lies ahead for them is happy. A little girl runs around, giggle, her braids flying behind her. She has eyes just like Oliver’s.

There’s just one catch. It’s clear that finding her way to that future isn’t straightforward. So if Maddy wants the life she’s seeing with Oliver in ten years’ time, she may have no other option than to break his heart right now…

Would you destroy your happiness now if there was a chance it could give you the perfect future?

Review:

I’ve read all of Laura Pearson’s books since she signed with Boldwood and I’ve loved them all, so I was delighted to have the opportunity to read The Many Futures Of Maddy Hart. The premise is really quirky and I was intrigued by how the concept would work out. Laura Pearson’s writing is really engaging and easy to read and I was completely invested in the story from the first page to the last.

The biggest strength of The Many Futures Of Maddy Hart is the characters. The novel is narrated by Maddy, and this gives the reader plenty of opportunity to get to know her, and she was a character I warmed to almost straight away. I loved her chemistry with Oliver and I was rooting for them as a couple as well as individuals the whole way through. It is clear from the beginning that Maddy’s family and best friend, Priya, are important people in Maddy’s life, and I loved the way that Laura Pearson developed them into vibrant characters that I cared about just as much as Maddy herself.

The plot of The Many Futures Of Maddy Hart is quite slow burning and I was unsure where the story was going for large parts of it. The ending was not what I expected it would be, but it was very emotional and I will be thinking about Maddy and Oliver for a while to come.

The Many Futures Of Maddy Hart is available from Amazon.
