About this ebook
The Two Lives of Lydia Bird meets This Time Next Year in a sliding-doors style romance and coming-to-self story about fate, chance, and the choices we make.
What if “meant to be” happened twice?
Lucy is at a crossroads. The same night she quits her thankless job she meets Caleb, a local photographer in her seaside town, and has a run-in with Max—the once love of her life. As Lucy decides the right path forward—finally pursue her dream of becoming a writer, or move to London and revive her career—her choice will change her life in unimaginable ways.
Stay. After a decade of trying to run from her dream, Lucy is finally facing her fears and putting pen to page. With her budding romance with handsome, artistic Caleb, she has more inspiration now than ever. But can Lucy and Caleb open themselves up after their past heartbreaks? And will their different paths take them to the same place?
Go. Lucy can’t believe her luck when a room in her best friend’s London house share opens up and she lands a job at the prestigious Supernova. It gives her the courage to face Max, who’s serendipitous encounter still has her reeling, and ask what really happened almost a decade ago? But does she really want to know, when being together feels like fate?
In concurrent storylines that track what would have happened if Lucy chose to Stay or Go, What Might Have Been is a sweeping story that poses the questions: is it destiny or chance that decides who we are meant to be, and who we are meant to love? And is there such a thing as a soul mate?

Lucy is having a bad day. After her quitting her job, she goes the the local bar to drown her sorrows. While talking to the man next to her, she sees her ex boyfriend Max walk by outside. This one choice can change her life forever. Should she run outside to Max? Or spend time getting to know Caleb, the new man at the bar? Told in alternating storylines either staying with Caleb or going with Max, this is an absolutely beautiful story that examines the choices we make and repercussions of those choices. Growing up with parents who have been together forever and seem to be living a fairytale romance, Lucy is looking for her own Happily Ever After. But maybe life isn't so simple. This book examines just how easy it is for one choice to alter our future, and how maybe one person isn't exactly the only "one". While not making the love story any less special or meaningful, it beautifully shows maybe life isn't mapped out exactly, and maybe sometimes you just have to close your eyes and jump and hope for the best. This book brought me to tears and made me fall in love with both Max and Caleb for different reasons. I couldn't have loved this book more! Publishing date is January 18, 2022. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5 Thank you to NetGalley, Holly Miller, and Penguin Group Putnam for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
