I love this type of book! Seeing all the other parallel universes where one little choice makes a world of difference is so entertaining and makes you think! Overall I loved this book!

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was well written and talk about character development!!! The differences between Isabelle from beginning to end are just so fun to contrast.
This was a great “what if” story that took me on an emotional rollercoaster while Isabelle healed from all the emotions she thought she could ignore.

This book was described as a "Sliding Doors" type of book. Having just watched that movie, I was excited to read All the Other Me. This book blew me away. I laughed and I cried, and I felt for all of the characters. I am going to use this book for the staff pick month for one of our book discussion groups. Depending on budget, it will either be April or August 2025. Very well done! I am not going to hit the author's backlist to see what other gems I find. Thank you, NetGalley, for making ARCs available.

I liked this book more than I thought I would! The premise was unique and the idea of getting to peek into other lives you could have lived is what interested me to begin with. It was written well - not perfect but still really good.

This is a hard book for me to review. Mostly it was not what i expected and probably wouldn't have read it. It was primarily a story of a woman coming to terms with herself and her family and a journey to meet other lives she could have had to heal from her past. The main character was very successful but she was written as if she was pretty young/naive despite that So while it was fine it wasn't really the book for me.

Have you ever wondered what your life would be like if you made a different choice, took a different path? This book explores that in an extremely cool way - showing Isabelle a few alternate ways her life could have turned out had she done things differently along the way. It was absolutely fascinating to see. The author did a fantastic job at the concept. And the sisters were just enough unlikeable to be real, but also relatable and redeeming.

Isabelle hid behind a facade of truly having everything; however, her life was rich only with respect to money. She had no friends save for her assistant Kaia and pushed everyone away including Jonathan who loved her as the person she was. He believed she could become so much more than her initial statement to him that unless it was a Michelin star restaurant, that don't even bother with dinner. However, with the reemergence of her sister Elaina, Izzy-belle began to come back to life. As she explored the different lives she could have had, she came to realize how empty and small hers was. In pushing everyone away in order to avoid rejection, no award could overcome the lack of her truly living. She began to see how people who care for you such as her mother, that the live never dissipates. The ending was wonderful as she came to realize how much she wanted her family to be her family again and how beneficial it is to champion for charitable causes that go beyond her writing a check. There was no need for her to see how she could have lived. She created a great life for herself in the present one.

"Her life had easily snapped in two pieces like a piece of spun sugar, so delicate and fragile. Before and after."
Jody Holford's All the Other Me is a sweeping, emotional page turner perfect for anyone who's ever wondered about the paths not taken. Part emotional sister redemption story and part achingly slow burn love story, this book is a perfect book club read I couldn't put down.
Wealthy and successful Isabelle Duprees and estranged sister Elaina embark on an impromptu road trip that peels back layers of hurt feelings, resentments, and an overwhelming love between sisters who experienced the same family events in starkly different ways.
Beautifully written and lyrical, raw and witty at just the right moments, All the Other Me will stay with me. I loved it, and I'll be reading more of this author's books!

I'm always drawn to "Sliding Glass"-type stories that ask the "what if?" question, so had to read "All The Other Me." The writing was smooth, and I enjoyed the places the novel took me. Recommended for anyone who enjoys contemporary "what if?" novels or fans of Holford's work. Thanks to NetGalley and publisher for the ARC.

Thank you so much NetGalley for the ARC! This was an extremely quick read for me. The author’s writing was seamless and the plot was original. It reminded me of Rebecca Serle’s works, with a partial suspension of disbelief required. Why I rounded down to 4, was I felt that there was a lot of buildup before seeing the alternate paths Isabelle could have taken. Once inside those lives, it felt Isabella’s observations were a bit rushed. Would definitely read more from this author!!

Another amazing hit from my favorite author. Love the story and can’t wait to read more from this author. An auto buy with her for sure!
