This was a cute story but a little predictable in the middle and toward the end. I do really enjoy this author's writing style and how you can really connect to the characters. The Romantic element was very present and overall it was an enjoyable book.

What if you could travel to the future, and discover how your life has changed . This is exactly what happens to Maddy when she catches glimpses of her life ten years on every time she has an intimate encounter.

Maddy avoids such moments until she falls for Oliver. As she glimpses scenes from her future she is forced to explore her present and the choices she has to make.

What a lovely bunch of characters in this book, I grew to love them all, Oliver, Henry and Mrs Aziz, each with their own story which intertwined with Maddy’s to enrich the storytelling

The ending of the book will appeal to those who prefer the story to be open ended but I personally would have preferred to have had an epilogue., which would have added to my enjoyment.

Overall this was a unique book, which I found easy to read and made me ponder how the years speed by and how one decision or event can alter our life path. Maddy and Oliver will stay in my thoughts for a while !

I LOVED this book. LOVED. This book is a mix of everything good in a gothic suspense novel. Appalachia. Magical realism. Family secrets. Love tested. Sisters separated. and OMG, the plunge into nature. Come ON. When is her next book coming out???

A heartwarming cosy read. Maddy is a teenager when she has her first sexual encounter and a shocking surprise. The only person she tells is her best friend Priya. How her life fast forwards 10 years and she sees what will happen if she is with this person then. She resolves not to sleep with anyone again and apart from a few one night stands, all of which have the same result, she steers clear of a relationship.

Briefly, after school Maddy and Priya share a flat but when Priya meets Nic and they want to move in together Maddy moves out. Her new landlord is Oliver and they share a flat and it soon becomes clear that there is a romantic spark and Maddy decides to follow her heart. The future she sees with Oliver is largely a happy one until she finds out something that really upsets her and to right it she needs to make a decision that goes against all her desires.

I really loved the relationship between Priya and Maddy, such good supportive friends, and as a side character Mrs Aziz was the best. I like Oliver although at times he seemed a little too good to be true, but he wasn’t perfect. The whole premise obviously needs to be taken a bit tongue in cheek and I did wonder about the actual 10 years hence and if everything turned out as she saw it. I’m not really a romance reader but this isn’t really a romance. It’s a family drama with romantic and fantasy element and just a thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable read.

Maddy was a normal child, but when she turned into an adult and started having sex, during the act she has a flash forward and sees into her future, 10 years into her future. So when she is not with the person she is with she knows they are not the one. She also sees friends and family’s future. If you knew something about the future and knew it would affect others would you tell them?

She sees a child in her future, she sees how her half-brother recovers from an accident. Will she get her right future, can she change it?

Laura has done it again, another great book, different premise to her other books but loved it.

Maddy had an interesting…gift. She is able to see 10 years into the future at specific times in her present life- and with these snippets of knowledge about the future, she must navigate how to live in the now.
This was a heartwarming, sweet story and left me wanting more! It was fun to read the dual timelines and piece together what was happening in the present that was leading to the future scenes. Pearson’s characters are lovable and well-developed. Overall, a great novel!
Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the digital ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Where do I even start with this book? It was so unique, every time Maddy has sex she transports herself ten years into the future. Maddie has decided rare, one-time sexual encounters are all she can handle…until she meets Oliver.

My gosh the romance and all the feels of this one got to me and I am not a romantic person at heart. Maddy isn’t in the future very long, just enough for a quick peek. She can't really control it or anything that happens while she is there. All she can really do is get information. I loved the two main leads so much, both as a couple and as individuals. Maddie's friend Priya was an amazing girlfriend to her and had her back at all times but she wasn't afraid to tell her what's what. I liked how Maddy’s visions of the future concerned her and her partner and her friends and family.

This was a very well-thought-out plot that was executed perfectly. I have read every book by Laura Pearson and she is always a consistent four or five-star read, she always packs an emotional punch but her books aren't soppy, they’re true to life with well-wounded characters. I highly recommend all of her works.

I have really enjoyed previous books by this author, so was looking forward to this one!

In a similar vein to previous novels, this had a unique concept that makes you think about what you would do in the same situation. With great characters and some good twist and turns, this was a great read!

3.5 stars rounded up to 4
This was an enjoyable book with a very extraordinary plot. If you can accept Maddy's supernatural talent the story is really entertaining and unique. The main character Maddy is (mostly) relatable and her boyfriend Oliver is almost too good to be true. I started to read the book and was wondering where the plot was going and I found the first two thirds of the book very diverting. After that the story sort of faded toward the end which felt a bit unsatisfying for me. All in an entertaining book.

What a unique idea for a story. Maddy Hart can see snippets of her future in 10 years time, it stops her forming relationships as it happens in the bedroom! Only her best friend Priya knows it happens. A acting job that turns out to be a Santa grotto is where she meets Oliver, she then views a flat and again it’s Oliver. They start a relationship and Maddy see’s their life’s in the future and has to make a monumental decision if she wants the life she has seen.

I absolutely loved this book & couldn’t wait to finish it to see how Maddy’s life turned out!
Thanks for the opportunity to read & review it.

This is an author i’ve enjoyed before so was looking forward to reading this book and it didn’t disappoint!

Maddy was the main character who was very believable and had a unique story around her! I loved her friendship with her school friend and her brother!

I read the last 50% in one afternoon, as couldn’t put it down.

Would highly recommend

Laura Pearson is an extremely talented author, and this book was a really enjoyable to read that I finished in just a couple of days.

It's the first I've read by her, and I'm definitely interested in diving into her backlist. (And the covers are SO GORGEOUS!)

There are just two reasons it wasn't a five-star read for me: one (MILD SPOILER) is that the character felt the need to act in a way she didn't want to in order to make a beautiful future come true. This seemed jarring when all the other visions seemed to be the future that would take place if she continued along that same path. And the second had to do with the ending. It seemed like she was resigning herself to a particular future negative event taking place, but she had already shown she had some power over how things turned out.

However, overall I'll definitely be recommending this book to many thanks to its unusual twist on a time travel romance and its enjoyable characters and plot.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read a digital ARC in advance of publication.

After being in a bit of a reading slump I was delighted to see that Laura’s new novel was here to read! After previously enjoying her other books I thought I knew what to expect but my expectations were surpassed.
Maddy has a very strange “gift” that leads her to avoid intimate moments with strangers, until she falls for her first boyfriend. Her gift allows her to see snapshots of the future and what is in store, leading Maddy to carefully consider her future choices.
I loved this book and devoured it in a day. I couldn’t put it down as I was desperate to see just what Maddy’s future actually did have in store for her.
A lovely story with such well written characters. Will be highly recommending.
Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read and review.

This is my second book from this author and I really enjoyed it! It was really interesting that she had to do some heartbreaking things in order to get a happy ending. I liked the different futures and parts of it kept me guessing for a while. Overall a quick enjoyable read, and I look forward to reading more from this author! I received a free copy from netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

Laura Pearson delivers a fresh and captivating tale with "The Many Futures of Maddy Hart." Although this isn't a genre I typically dive into, my admiration for "The Last List of Mabel Beaumont" made me eager to give Maddy's story a chance. This novel’s original concept for time travel is intriguing and thoroughly enjoyable, featuring a wonderful cast of characters that develop throughout the novel, from Maddy to her friend Priya, Oliver, Henry, and the unforgettable Mrs. Aziz.

The storyline is brilliantly constructed, allowing Maddy to witness what happens to her and her loved ones ten years into the future. This unique twist, means that she visits 2024 whilst inhabiting her life in 2014.. The characters are vividly brought to life, shaping the story and making it deeply relatable and compelling.

I found myself invested in the characters' journeys and emotions, and Laura Pearson's ending for the book was perfectly judged. The conclusion felt satisfying and well-earned, rounding off a beautifully crafted narrative.

In summary, "The Many Futures of Maddy Hart" is a must-read for anyone seeking an inventive and touching story. Laura Pearson has once again demonstrated her ability to create characters and plots that resonate deeply with readers, making this novel an exceptional addition to her backlist that I shall continue to explore.

A clever premise, and very well written, Oliver's lovely. I don't know what to think about Maddy seeing the future and then engineering life to make sure it happened in the same way. I did not like what Maddy did in this respect, causing unnecessary pain. And who decides to bring up something huge to their partner when he's driving? The ending was frustrating. I did enjoy the story, but the ending was too abrupt. An epilogue would have been a good idea. With thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What a novel concept of time travel. The Many Futures of Maddy Hart blends time travel with themes of love, grief, and hope. When Maddy discovers her unique ability to jump through time, she’s faced with difficult choices as she discovers what the future looks like not just for herself, but her friends and family too.

Seeing the growth Maddy makes in her decision-making as the story progresses makes the novel all the more engaging, adding emotional depth to this book. While some moments felt a bit rushed, this was still a beautifully written, thought-provoking journey.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the e-ARC!

Just fabulous! Maddy skips 10 years into the future every time she is intimate with a man! Imagine being able to see what your life would be like in 10 years time if you decide that this one is THE one - fascinating! After a few near misses, Maddy foresees a happy future with Oliver, but when she discovers a shocking twist in their tale, she has to take heartbreaking action now, to secure their happy ever after. It reminded me of the film, Back to the Future, where changing the past can have devastating consequences for the future, but in this instance, Maddy has seen the future and knows she needs to act to ensure it happens as it's the future she wants.

I love Laura's writing and this book was entertaining, with some thought-provoking moral dilemmas. Maddy and her bestie, Priya, are likeable and relatable and I found myself rooting for them both.

5 ⭐️ Thanks to Netgalley, Laura Pearson and Boldwood for an ARC in return for an honest review.

I've read all of Laura Pearson's books since she signed with Boldwood and I've loved them all, so I was delighted to have the opportunity to read The Many Futures Of Maddy Hart. The premise is really quirky and I was intrigued by how the concept would work out. Laura Pearson's writing is really engaging and easy to read and I was completely invested in the story from the first page to the last.

The biggest strength of The Many Futures Of Maddy Hart is the characters. The novel is narrated by Maddy, and this gives the reader plenty of opportunity to get to know her, and she was a character I warmed to almost straight away. I loved her chemistry with Oliver and I was rooting for them as a couple as well as individuals the whole way through. It is clear from the beginning that Maddy's family and best friend, Priya, are important people in Maddy's life, and I loved the way that Laura Pearson developed them into vibrant characters that I cared about just as much as Maddy herself.

The plot of The Many Futures Of Maddy Hart is quite slow burning and I was unsure where the story was going for large parts of it. The ending was not what I expected it would be, but it was very emotional and I will be thinking about Maddy and Oliver for a while to come.
