"From New York Times bestselling author Sarah Jio comes an escapist timeslip contemporary book club novel following a young woman stuck in a "time loop" of one-day relationships with romantic partners from her past, perfect for readers of Rebecca Serle's In Five Years and Josie Silver's One Day in December. "An ingenious and heartfelt love story. I absolutely adored this novel!" -Emily Giffin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Summer Pact What if you could have a second chance to say "yes" to the one who got away? Lena Westbrook, a perfectionist and workaholic, has carefully planned and orchestrated every detail of her life. So when her boyfriend of two years breaks up with her on the night she expects him to propose, she's heartbroken and confused. Lena flees to her beloved aunt's home on Seattle's picturesque Bainbridge Island to lick her wounds and recalibrate. That night, she falls asleep in the guest house. But when she awakens the next morning, she's no longer in a cottage nestled on the Puget Sound, but rather in a chic Parisian apartment-wearing an expensive silk nightgown in bed with a handsome French man who seems to think that Lena is his wife. From the elegant neighborhoods of Paris to the charming landscape of Kinsale, Ireland, to the sparkling skyline of New York City, and many other unexpected destinations in between, each time Lena awakens, she finds herself somewhere else with someone else. In each experience, she's given a glimpse of what life might have looked like had she chosen the "road not taken." And as she becomes more clear-sighted about her past decisions, Lena begins to wonder, were any of these former romantic encounters actually...significant? Marrying the wish-fulfilling romance of Emily in Paris with the high-concept premise of Groundhog Day, Insignificant Others is a lively, surprising, and enchanting novel that explores the relatable and resonant "what ifs" of life, but most especially, love."--

I look forward to the annual release of Sarah Jioââ?¬â?¢s new book. I settled into a comfy chair looking forward to becoming immersed in Insignificant Others. Unfortunately, this failed to happen. Insignificant Others is different from Sarah Jioââ?¬â?¢s other novels. The story kept jumping from one potential life to another. There were too many characters and settings. The story felt rushed, which made it hard to relate to the characters. I was not a fan of the main character, Lena Westbrook. She was not a likeable character. Lena is a woman who has mapped out her life (work and personal). Her focus is on herself, though, she does love her aunt. Lenaââ?¬â?¢s self-discovery journey was more about Lena finding the right guy instead of her becoming a better person. I did not understand how some of the men qualified as romantic partners when they were random men that she had only met once. I can understand wondering ââ?¬Å"what ifââ?¬Â? with a man you had known for years (a friend, some with whom you had worked with, a member of your book club, etc.), but not just once (that is more dream material). The ending was not believable and anti-climactic (it was a letdown). The story felt long and there were repetitive details. I felt that Insignificant Others lacked substance (it reminds me of a bread dough that failed to rise). I found myself skimming to reach the end. Insignificant Others didn't appeal to me, but I'm looking forward to Sarah Jio's next novel.
