The Versions of Us by Laura Barnett

This book is a version of Sliding Doors, three different scenarios that depend on whether the young man and the young woman get together or not. I don’t know whether it’s old age or not, but I found it hard to follow three sets of stories that were essentially soap opera plots about the worklife, successes, affairs etc of the same group of characters, without getting confused about who was doing what with whom. Because you’re telling similar stories three times, there’s never enough time and space to develop anything other than the Womens Weekly plot. So, entertaining enough but really only good for holidays on the beach when you have no intention of having to engage your brain too much.
