All About Us
Book Feature - All About Us by Tom Ellen
HBL Note: “If you could turn back the clock, would you choose a different life?” I ask myself this on a daily basis ever since the fire. I marvel at the number of decisions I made that led to the life I’m living and I wonder, if I’d chosen a different option at any one of those moments, if the fire could have been avoided. But then I think of all the things I’d be missing out on: the great neighbors we met, the opportunity to design a house from scratch, not to mention all the life lessons that came from this experience.
This book is not about a house fire (spoiler alert!) But it does ask that same question. If you are here for all of these holiday novels like I am…scroll down to read all about All About Us by Tom Ellen (see what I did there?)
From the publisher:
Ben’s always loved the month of December, but this year, with his relationship with Daphne on the rocks, it’s missing its usual magic. And then his old friend Alice gets back in touch. Ben’s always thought of Alice as the one that got away, and he can’t help but wonder: what if he’d done things differently all those years ago?
He never imagines he might get to find out… but when a stranger sells Ben a mysterious watch one freezing winter’s night, he’s astonished to wake up the next morning on 5th December 2005: the day he first kissed Daphne, leaving Alice behind.
Now Ben must make the biggest decision of his life, all over again. But this time around, will he finally find the courage to follow his heart?
