Headcanon that one day in Astronomy a student mentions the theory that Planet Nine exists and the Wizarding World collectively goes “holy shit” and start factoring in this hypothetical planet in their calculations and rituals and divination and any other ‘flimsy magic’ and it wORKS!! and all these magics that are known for always being Slightly Off are working Perfectly
And this of course foresters a New Era of Wizard-Muggle relations

‘The difference between life and death could be as simple and as uncomfortably slight as a step you take in either direction.’
Maybe in Another Life - Taylor Jenkins Reid, page 107.
Rating: 3.5/5
Fluff: 💋💋💋💋
Spice: 🌶🌶
It is no secret that I absolutely adored Taylor Jenkins Reid’s The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and I was so excited to delve into one of her earlier narratives.
Now, as a general rule, chicklit and books where romance is the primary theme are not my cup of tea, but TJR has created a truly captivating work
The novel follows our protagonist, Hannah, in concurrent storylines and explores the consequences of her actions following a night at a bar. In the first ‘world’, she decides to leave the bar early with her best friend, Gabby, and in the second, she decides to remain at the bar with an old ex-boyfriend.
I thought the concept and execution of the dual storylines was incredibly captivating. TJR explored the entire spectrum of the human condition — the transience of life, the joy and heartbreak that comes with relationships, and the tenacity of humanity.
As to be expected from a book with a dual storyline, I definitely had a ‘world’ I preferred to follow. Despite this, both storylines were well written, and neither of them were unrealistic for the life Hannah was experiencing.
I have a few gripes with this book. 
The first being that it was very easy to lose what had happened in each storyline and which one you were currently reading if you put the book down and were coming back to it several hours or days later.
The second was the repetition. Despite the differences in Hannah’s worlds there are some elements which remain the same. For the most part, I thought the repetition of these moments worked really well. Unfortunately, there were times where I thought the repetition of the overarching theme would’ve worked significantly better than having dialogue, thoughts, and concepts, repeated word for word.
[MINOR SPOILER IN THIS PARAGRAPH] And finally, I have a more personal issue than a literary/stylistic one; I abhor the unplanned pregnancy trope, and even more so when it is the primary source of conflict between a couple. It’s very difficult to not fall into cliches when writing a trope like this, and there were many times in the ‘ex-boyfriend’ storyline that the plot felt predictable.

'I love my parents. I really, really do. But I love them the way you love the grandmother you aren't as close to, the way you love your uncle who lives across the country. They are not my support system. And they need to go.'

I enter the Library of Books You Read As A Child. "Do you have… er. It was green, and there was a girl and a dog, and…" The librarian nods. "Of course. Which version do you want?" "Version?" "The one you read, with all flaws you didn't notice, or the one you remember loving?"
