Huge thanks to Netgalley for an ARC version of this book.

Wow, this book really took me places. Literally in the sense that the story involved alternate realities telling the love story of Dylan and April, but also moved me. This story focuses on first love and the true meaning of soul mates, and what different life decisions can mean for them. While Dylan and April were both incredibly flawed characters, I needed to know how their story ended, and was rooting for them the entire time.
I loved the way this story was written, even with the alternate realities, it was easy to follow where we were at in the story line. Without giving away any spoilers, the hospital alternate storyline towards the end had me in tears.
Highly recommend this romance novel, if you've ever experienced a first love, or any kind of love, give this story a read.

Wonderful book!

Thank you soooooo much netgalley, the author and the publisher for the advanced review copy if this book💗

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for sending me a copy of this book.

This was a DNF for me. I couldn't get passed the first few pages describing the condition of a character after a car accident. I'm not a fan of books about cheaters and both of the main characters seem to be serial cheaters, especially with each other.

This book was unlike anything I have read. If you’re interested in a romantic read with a time traveling aspect.. this is it.

After a painful breakup, April returns three years later as Dylan is starting a new life with his fiancée. Despite the unresolved past, Dylan still loves April. A confrontation leads to a car crash, pushing Dylan to time travel through pivotal moments in their relationship to change the course of events and ultimately save April's life.

This book was written so well and I give props to the author. There were a few times when the story line would fall into the alternative reality and it would honestly confuse me with how much it switched up (A paragraph or two in, I was able to realize what was going on). I really enjoyed the writing style and it was easy to read.

I never really connected to any of the characters and did not have a favorite character, this made it hard to keep interest. There were a few times things got repetitive, especially when it came to April & Dylan professing their love or arguing over something.

I really enjoyed this book and I love the uniqueness of the plot and the alternative realities. The whole book is April & Dylan’s journey of reconnecting and saving their relationship, it’s beautifully written.

I do have to say, I really enjoyed the way Adam’s accent was portrayed in the writing. It gave me a good laugh.

I would 100% recommend this book to anyone and would read anything Lianne published in the future.

Thank you so much to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a ARC of this book. I am giving this review voluntarily and everything is 100% my own thoughts & opinions.

I did not love this book. However from the description I was expecting a gut wrenching reading through tears thinking about parts days later . I don’t think it was quite a trie love story. More of a story of resentment, acceptance, forgiveness and a strong love always through all scenarios. I felt the back and forth through the should’ve, would’ve could haves were a little long. Making parts a little monotonous. Overall still a good book but not quite up to what I was expecting. Thank you for the arc.

2.25/5 stars! Why must all these books insist on incorporating confusing timelines without a storyline to support them?! It was confusing and honestly a struggle to finish.

I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review

I hadn’t come across this book before but it caught my eye on NetGalley and when i read the blurb i just knew i had to read it and i was definitely not disappointed.

It was such an easy book to read (although it did take me a little while to get into it, but once i did it was ok) too and i found myself getting pulled in to the story and turning page after page just so that i could find out what was going to happen next.

Wait For You was an emotional rollercoaster and had such an intriguing storyline too, it was quite unique.

I really enjoyed this story and loved being involved in Dylan and April’s story…..

Three years after their breakup April shows up on Dylan’s driveway the day he is supposed to moving in with his new fiancée. Dylan has no idea why April has turned up, or even why she left him in the first place but what he does no is that he never stopped loving her.

When a row breaks out and ends in a horrific car crash, April is left in a coma. Stuck in the past and reliving their moments. Given the chance again, would they do things differently?

Wait for You is a romantic novel which is told from the viewpoints of April & Dylan. The premise of the book is very similar to the likes of Matt Haig’s ‘The Midnight Library’, whereby the time frame is mostly the same, but April & Dylan keep reliving the same period with different outcomes.

If I am honest at first I wasn’t sure I would finish this book as I felt like I had read similar stories before and I struggled to connect with the characters. That’s not to say it was terrible just that I think there was room to develop them further.

The book explores many themes including relationships, friendships and being a young adult trying to find your path, but one thing I particularly found the author explored well was the topic of depression. It was very evident she either has some personal experience or has researched this illness thoroughly as it came across very sincere.

Overall, this probably wasn’t my favourite read! It wasn't new and I didn't particularly warm to the characters but it wasn't bad and there was lovely feel good morals to come out of it.

When April arrives on Dylan’s driveway three years after their breakup, it sets about a series of events that leads to a car crash. Dylan’s life falls apart and he realises that he never stopped loving April. What follows is an interesting take on timelines, with Dylan jumping back in time with a chance to possibly save April.
I must admit that whilst this book had an interesting premise, I did find myself quite confused at times to the events that were taking place. There were several different outcomes to their story, ultimately leading to the events that started the book. I finished the book not quite sure whether I liked it or not.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Dylan and April were amazing characters that I quickly fell in love with. This was such a page turner! I binged it in about five hours.

I liked the premise of this book, especially with a male lead. It's a story that has been done before, but I've mostly read about female leads who time travel to fix relationships. However, the writing on this was so hard to read, get into, and stick with. The language used was so flowery that I struggled to finish a page. Still, an interesting premise.

Thanks to NetGalley and Troubador for providing me with the ARC in turn for a review. I found the plot of the story of April and Dylan interesting and the time travel/alternate reality trips entertaining. The problem I had with the story was the slow pacing, which I felt could be edited for conciseness that would drive the story along.

Wait for you was such a good romantic book ! It really made me feel nostalgic and remember that first great love feeling ! Dylan and April’s love was so relatable and felt so real even through their ups and downs. I highly recommend this if you like more of an angsty love story. It will pull on your heart strings. I look forward to reading more books by the author.

Thank you Netgalley and Troubador for the digital arc in exchange for my honest review.

Some people have a failed relationship in their past that sticks with them for years. It's a comparison point, a glaring red flag, a high-speed nostalgia train and simply emotional baggage all rolled into one. That's who April and Dylan are to each other.

Until the day she turns up on his doorstep. The same day he's about to move in with his new fiancée. The day April drives her car off the road and ends up in a coma.

Sitting at her bedside, Dylan can't help but dwell on their history. Yet as he does so, he finds himself seeing alternatives to their timeline. A world of 'what ifs?' flood Dylan's mind as he sees just what his life might be like.

Every subsequent comment is said with a tone of wishing for more, not with a focus on shredding someone's work. The premise is a good one; so good, in fact, that it's been done before and in better ways. The aim is not to compare these works, but if a story makes the references itself, it's very difficult to avoid doing so (ahem, Sliding Doors).

This book, unfortunately, has too strong a 'tell, not show' tendency. The reader is repeatedly told that April and Dylan are devoted to/obsessed with each other and that they feel a tremendous sense of grief/hurt/sadness at being without the other or seeing them hurt. However, this isn't grounded in action or indirect thought. It's simply, '...I love her/him... I feel sad...'. This being incorporated into the writing would be fine, yet, in this, it is too heavy-handed, making it obvious and obtuse. Just because you're told to care, doesn't mean you do.

It's frustrating that the tone never lets up. Consistently, the focus is on missed love, lost opportunities or pining. It brings in some sweet moments (the phone number on the slip of paper is a great touch), but they get lost in the sea of them that is this book. They're lovely events which carry less impact because they're buried in the wealth of them. Then, they become standard- one just expects them- due to the established precedent.

Further on tone, it is a common criticism to say that some male authors cannot write female characters- the same can also be said for some of the inverse. None of these men sound like men; not to be insisting on a masculine tone, but four men drinking beer in a pub do not compare an ex to a butterfly. Far too many of the conversations fail to feel real, instead forcing the characters to say (some, granted, charming) lines purely to meet the plot demands.

Also, apart from the odd aside, no one can have a discussion without referring back to a romantic or lustful relationship after three lines.

However, the premise is great. Truly, read this book for that.

This book took me for a ride. It was a bit difficult to understand what was happening in the beginning but I was so intrigued once I started reading I couldn’t stop. It felt like I was there with Dylan and april watching their love story continue to begin and then unravel over and over. I love the descriptions of depression and the traveling through different timelines that was seamless and so unique. Would recommend to anyone

I have mixed feelings about this one. The premise of this story drew me in because it combines some interesting tropes: second chance romance + time travel.

The main storyline was near perfect. It was messy and chaotic, filled with passion, sweet moments and screaming matches. There's not a thing that I would've changed about it, despite how heartbreaking some parts of that story were. Both April and Dylan were flawed characters who learned from their mistakes and took a chance on each other. Again.

Now, the alternate realities. I felt that these were completely unnecessary. Frankly, I didn't see the point to including them. The flashbacks certainly made a lot of sense, and helped the reader to understand how April and Dylan got to where they are in the present. But, the alternate realities and flash-forwards didn't do anything to enhance my reading experience. If anything, they took away from it, because they mostly wound up confusing and frustrating me.

3.5 ⭐️
