Many thanks to NetGalley, Random House Ballantine Del Rey Books for gifting me a digital ARC of this novel by Evelyn Skye - 4 stars!
Sebastian and Helene are incarnations of Romeo and Juliet, living many lives that always end in tragedy as different people in different bodies for centuries. In present time, Helene is grieving after the death of her father and her failed marriage, in addition to suffering writer's block. She flees to Alaska to be on her own and soothe her soul. There she meets Sebastian and instantly feels like she has known him forever. Forever is Sebastian's reality - he is immortal and has lost his Juliet over and over for hundreds of years. Can they make this version of the love story work?
While I liked the modern timeframe of this story the best, it was still interesting to go back in time with different versions of their love story. It was a sweet story but the real life author's note at the end is what really touched me!
