A brilliant chick lit written by a male author. Fantastic, and funny and definitely sentimental. This was one of those books I couldn't put down until I finished it. A modern take on The Christmas Carol!

Have you ever wondered “what if”?? Well this book explores that and takes you back in time to the split second decision ... and then allows life to fast-forward ...
What seems a little bizarre in places starts to make sense as the book plays out. The time travelling watch and the mysterious gentleman are great devices to make you think about split-second decisions and who you interact with...
An enjoyable read.

I was kindly provided with a copy of All About Us by Netgalley in exchange for a non biased review.
Everyone at sometime has thought about how different their life would be if they had made different choices at different times. This book plays on that and is a spin on the age old tale of The Christmas Carol.
I enjoyed this book and it most definitely pulls on your heart strings and I took away from this it an appreciation for how life decisions can have big consequences, even if we don't expect them to.

A modern day take on The Christmas Carol, where Ben gets a chance to see what if.....
I enjoyed this book, though at times I felt annoyed at Ben and couldn’t see why Daphne was with him.
An enjoyable read with some very emotional moments.

I loved this book! Very cleverly written weaving back and forth through the the past , present and future. A love story that twists and gives glimpses into what might have been.
Excellently written and would make a super film !

A modern take on Dickins 'A Christmas Carol', All About Us could definitely be the book of the kind of Christmas romcom you watch on Netflix on a chilly night.
The book wasn't bad as such but it wasn't what I wanted it to be. Everything felt a little too neat and predictable. Reading the first half took me an age and part of me wonders if I only finished the other half to get it done, though the story did warm up a little halfway.
This said, the characters had some very meaningful conversations that, though they felt a little forced, had me thinking. Ben's Mum was a wonderful character who I'd love to meet for a natter over a hot cup of tea!
Ultimately though, I just didn't like the main character. He just came across as a mopey arsehole, flitting between two women when he should have just been acting less of an idiot.
Not something I'd read again.
I recieved this book for free from NetGallery in return for my honest review.

I really enjoyed reading this. As the book progressed I really warmed to the characters and the story line.
This book pulled at my heart strings and really made me appreciate how different life could be based on small decisions.

I absolutely ADORED this book! I read it in one sitting on a plane journey and it made me totally emotional. My boyfriend got a very gushy 'this is how much I appreciate you' message as soon as we landed. Very cute story, definitely felt like a touch of magic. Would love to read more from this author!

The story was wonderfully and very engaging from start to finish. Very emotional with some heartwarming and heartbreaking moments - a very different spin on the Christmas Carol theme. The story makes you think about living in the present and not the past. Very enjoyable.

I LOVED this book. I would say it’s not exaggeration to say it has changed my life!
At the start I found Ben’s character unpleasant and I really wasn’t sure that I would be able to continue to read with an unlikeable lead. However a chance encounter for Ben leads to a life changing time travel. He travels back to pivotal moments in his life and he has the opportunity to relive it with hindsight and the opportunity to change the situation.
I found it fascinating to see how his selfishness and self absorption had lead to his current predicament and was definitely eye opening to look at my own reactions. Highly recommended

Absolutely loved this Groundhog Day style novel. A very moving story of how we can all sometimes get complacent in a relationship and make bad decisions that will affect the rest of our lives... Ben is incredibly likeable despite being a little lacklustre in his marriage. This is an easy read but makes you question “what if” when thinking about relationship decisions we’ve made in our life. Thought provoking and well written with characters you really grow fond of (except Alice!) Enjoy!

This book was a really easy fun read with a lovely plot. I really enjoyed it! Thank you netgalley for the chance to read this in return for a review.

Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from NetGalley. I really enjoyed this. It was well written and an interesting concept, and I liked the characters of Daphne and Ben. I rooted for them and felt for them as the story progressed.

4.5 stars
What if you could turn back time to the moment that marked your future decisions or the ones that you couldn’t do anything because destiny has its own agenda?
I love this story. Having the main character a male protagonist and hearing the book from his point of view with all the ups and downs and everything in between, I found it quite unique and entertaining. It’s not a heartwarming story though, it’s full of moments where I had to stop and analyse and ask myself how would I react, what my decision would be in those moments?
It’s a story about family, friendship and love and I loved every second of it.

A cross between A Christmas carol and quantum leap.
What would you do if you could change your past? Get married to someone different? Marry your existing spouse? Try to set right some wrongs?
This is Ben’s story, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but, always relatable in one way or another.
Definitely recommend this book!

Wow what a story line. Ben has two loves in his life but when he is given a watch by an old man that didn't move, it was set at one minute to midnight, but what happens then. Read this book to find out. I will say that after reading the first encounter with Ben's life going back in time I had a dream that night that took me back in time to people that I knew but had gone on before me. Will Ben make the right choice or will he leave it to late to put things right. Get a copy and find out for yourself. I give tis novel 5 stars.

It’s a modern day take on A Christmas Carol and feels like a future rom com movie in the makings. I enjoyed the reading overall, but I came away feeling like it didn’t quite scratch the itch I thought it would. Maybe I didn’t like how the ending fell into place, it all felt a little too easy, and some of the deep and meaningful conversations between the characters too forced, made it all seem too simple.

I loved this. Christmassy but with a traditional twist, and a great storyline with some serious underpinnings. Super easy to read and a cast of likeable characters. Highly recommended.

This grabbed at my heartstrings & refused to let go! Great concept & characters that leap from the page made this an utterly charming book.

Wonderful take on Christmas Carol for everyone, not only Christmas lovers.
When I began to read this book, I wasn't quite sure if I will enjoy it but as the story unfolded I got really invested in Ben's life and couldn't put it down. Very enjoyable read.
