Be prepared for tears of joy and heartache as you read the story of Robbie and Jenn.

The story begins with the couple reuniting after some time apart. There's something Jenn needs to tell Robbie, but before she can, they're involved in an accident. From that moment on, we move back and forward in time as Robbie watches pivotal moments in Jenn's life. He sees the things she never shared and he also sees how he treated her.

He's desperate to prevent the accident and to find out what Jenn needed to tell him, believing that might be the key to changing the outcome.

No spoilers for the ending, but I will say grab your tissues.

This was not a cheesy romance (which I also love so not knocking a cheesy love story). This romance was messy and real and imperfect. It was moving and devastating as we learned more about Jenn's early life and why her father left.

Ultimately, The Echoes of Us is a story that reminds us to share our feelings and thoughts, to live and make memories while we can and to love deeply.

This is one of those books that stays with you. It's very thought-provoking romantic read that moves through different timelines. You might need tissues with this book.

The Echoes of Us is one of those books with a premise I can’t stop thinking about, and an ending that has stuck in my head since I finished it. It’s reminiscent of books like The Time Traveller’s Wife and The Sight of You, both in its ideas and execution, and packs a real emotional punch that’s hard to forget.

I love books that pose the question ‘what if?’, and The Echoes of Us is definitely one of those. Told mostly in flashbacks, it’s the story of Robbie and Jenn, and their love story over the years. The twist is that Robbie is living through Jenn’s memories, thanks to a truck hurtling towards their car in real time, and seemingly has to change the past in order to alter the present and the future. Can he do it? That, dear reader, you will have to find out.

I really like realistic characters with visible emotional flaws, a category that both Robbie and Jenn fit into. Their life may look perfect from the outside, but it’s the complete opposite. They have doubts and insecurities, and though they love each other, sometimes it just doesn’t seem like enough. Seeing someone’s memories from their perspective is a fantastic way of holding yourself accountable, and this was my favourite part of the whole book — it’s eye-opening and refreshing, and I was left wondering whether it’s something I would ever like to be in a position to do.

The Echoes of Us is a thought-provoking, epic love story that will appeal to readers of all genres. It perfectly captures the complicated nuances of a long-term relationship, and how one moment or decision really can change someone’s life. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I’m already looking forward to Emma Steele’s next book. If it’s as good as this, we are in for a treat!

The premise of this sounded amazing, and time travel is always a good trope if it's done well. Unfortunately the timings were almost too disjointed - half the time I was trying to figure out if the new time period was chldhood/adolescence/adulthood, which took me out of the emotions of the story quite a lot I also was hoping for more of an answer at the end, but that might just be personal preference..

A romantic read that some will love but I found the jumping around of time periods meant I wasn’t engaged enough in the characters to be fully immersed. For me it was a nice read, not a great read.

I was so intrigued by the concept of this book and was really looking forward to discovering what was going on, unfortunately I was left disappointed. I found the constantly changing timelines very confusing and disjointed and I found myself skipping over paragraphs to get to the end rather than enjoying the experience. Sadly not a book for me.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC

What a totally unexpected story, not in any way the usual 'romcom'. I found the intensity and the constant switching of times a little difficult, but have to admire the writing. Yes, heartbreaking, especially the end, yes intense, but unforgettable also. Thank you for the chance to read this book.

Well, that was a gut punch of a love story! Echoes of Us shows us the story of Jenn and Robbie through Jenn’s memories as her life flashes before her eyes, as a truck hurtles towards their car. Robbie is also a spectator of her memories, and we see her memories from both Jenn’s and his POV.

Robbie is hard to like in certain moments of the book, and his internal monologue got quite repetitive. Safe to say, he redeems himself. It really gets into the suspense throughout the second half of the book, when Robbie is trying to discover a secret that Jenn started to tell him in the car. The build up towards those last few pages was excellent, I couldn’t read it quickly enough!

A really unique read with an emotional build up, resulting in a bittersweet ending. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

I’d like to thank Headline and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read ‘The Echoes Of Us’ written by Emma Steele in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Robbie and Jenn meet up again after being apart for eight months but whilst driving home they’re faced with a truck hurtling towards them from the opposite direction.

I was really looking forward to reading ‘The Echoes Of Us’ as I like discovering new authors especially if the novel is described as a captivating love story that always grabs my attention. From the first page I became thoroughly confused by the timeline jumping from 2019 to 1999, 2014 to 2001 in just a matter of pages. I wasn’t enamoured enough by the characters to want to finish the book and find out what happened to them, which is a rare occurrence for me. From reading other reviews it’s apparent that I’m in the minority but this is my own opinion and I can see it appeals to others. I hope readers will give it a try and enjoy it more than I did.

Thanks to the Publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.

What an amazing debut book by Emma Steele. I absolutely loved reading it.

The story was heartbreaking, with lots of chemistry.

So beautifully written, and fabulous plots, a story that will stay with you a long time.

I highly recommend this book.

Gorgeously romantic, funny, heartwarming and ultimately, a devastating supernatural tearjerker.. Echoes of Us reminded me of One Day and The Lakehouse, I loved Jenn and Robbie so much, the only thing I struggled with was the back and forth between time periods, I got a bit confused here and there. I can’t wait to read more from Emma Steele, because I adored this.

Huge thanks to the author and publisher for the chance to read this ARC, via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review..

Thanks to NetGalley for the copy of this book.

Phewww, a very emotional read. I couldn't put it down, was racing my way through to see what happened. Loved it, cried, would read again.

Robbie and Jenn have just got back together after 8 months apart. Jenn left suddenly and has just a suddenly reappeared in Robbie;s life. They are driving when a truck appears out of nowhere and Jenn's life starts to flash before her. But Robbie can see it too and starts to realise things haven;t always been as they seemed.

For me this was very similar to David Nicholl's One Day. The idiot boyfriend,, the woman who's looking for more. I enjoyed it but it didn't have the spark that made me go wow. Perhaps it was because it seemed too familiar, perhaps because I figured out early on what was happening, I'm not sure.

It was well written and easy to follow and I'm sure there will be many people who will love it. Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC. 3.5 stars

This is a beautiful debut novel told over different time lines and the two main characters perspectives. A poignant story of love, secrets, grief and what it’s like to see your life flashing before your eyes.

I appreciated how the author also highlighted and discussed the condition Huntington's disease as this is an illness which is not often talked about and I found these descriptions relatable having a friend who lost her mum to this terrible disease

Very excited for this one as I loved The Man I Never Met. So excited to read Emma Steels work and share my thoughts. Will be sharing a full review and thoughts very soon. This would make an excellent book club pick or movie.

I'm left heartbroken. Spending the book seeing Jenn's life. The good, the bad and the ugly. Seeing how things could have been so much different if people just paid more attention.
While there were moments and memories that weren't as interesting for me. They do all play a bigger part in getting her to where she is by the end.
Speaking on the end. I'm broken. It's not the ending I expected.

Wow just wow, couldn't put it down. What a fantastic book about love, for parents, friends, partner's and how it makes us into the person we become.
Good and bad feed into how we feel and process things.
Loved this book

I would like to thank the author, the publisher and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read an ARC of this book. This book will stay with me for a long time, the characters were so real and the story was so believable and heartbreaking, I will be recommending it to everyone I know.

3.75 stars

Thank you NetGalley and Headline for the ARC.

I was super excited to read this book. I enjoyed the story concept, however, I wasn't a huge fan of the writing style, especially switching back and forth to alternative perspectives. It was a bit jarring and confusing to read the first few chapters initially but you get the just of it later.

Echoes of You pulls you in and is a fast paced story that really did grip me. I found myself heading to bed early to read, something I haven’t done in a while.
I enjoyed jumping through Jenn’s memories and uncovering their love story in scene snatches. Jenn was compelling, and her journey was beautifully written. The structure meant we could follow Robbie and Jenn’s journey separately and yet also together, and I understood why she loved him.
Emma Steele’s writing is lovely, I enjoyed her sometimes unique yet perfect metaphors and she knew when to let her prose flow and when to write tight, quick moving scenes. It kept me turning the pages and I truly enjoyed this book.
Robbie though became more unlikeable the more we uncovered, and at times I couldn’t help but think she’d be better off with Duncan. Perhaps this was on purpose because of course our best leading men are floored, and Emma did give him his redemption! However, I gave it four instead of five stars because the ending left me a little unsatisfied. It felt abrupt after following them on such a big journey and we didn’t get all the answers. Some readers enjoy being able to make their own interpretation of events at the end, me I like everything wrapped up in a neat little bow, and this didn’t quite do that. Robbie finally uncovered Jenn’s secret (he mentioned it rather a lot, though it was a brilliant revelation, and similar to what I’d hoped for), and yet we didn’t quite find out everything, or see how what happened impacted not just Jenn but the cast of characters we’d met throughout the story.
A thoroughly enjoyable read though, and I’d absolutely read another Emma Steele book.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC opportunity.
