Our Infinite Fates by Laura StevenMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oh my words.
I didn't cry when I read this book, but I did, however, have so many feelings about this book that I almost cried. I normally don't cry when I read, but I do get close.
This is the story of Evelyn and Arden-two people who are in love, who keep dying over and over again and are always being reincarnated without even knowing why. In Wales of 2022, Evelyn is Branwen, and Arden is Dylan. Evelyn wants to stay alive so she can save her sister, who has cancer. Branwen works at a bookstore and wants to give her sister her bone marrow, so when her eighteenth birthday comes, her sister can heal, and she can die knowing that her sister in this life is perfectly fine.
Sadly, before any of this happened, she kept having a feeling that Arden was around to kill her, thinking that he was a boy named Cenric...only to find out that he was actually Dylan.
Yikes on bikes.
Evelyn pleaded with Arden/Dylan to keep her alive, to make sure that she gave her sister Gracie her bone marrow, and then she could die. Arden agrees, and Evelyn goes through a pro-bono operation to get her bone marrow...but not before she recorded her conversation with Cenric and Arden on her phone, sending it to Cenric and hoping that he'd go to the police so Arden could get arrested. He does, but Arden escapes.
Then, when they finally find each other, they go to the hill, and when they both die...
...they go to the Underrealm.
To meet The Mother, a woman who did this to them.
Thanks to all their love, it killed The Mother, but not before they made a new deal with her. Even though both of them said no at first, they thought about it and did it, even though Arden told her that Evelyn was a devil.
The ending of this book...was chef's kiss. I loved every bit of it, including how it led up to them meeting again, but the one thing I loved most was that, in each lifetime, they were in different places at different times. This felt like a movie to me, and I didn't want to stop.
