We've Been Here Before is easily one of my new favorite books! I absolutely loved it… right down to the very last page. Actually, the ending, and everything it explores, is what’s been swirling around in my head as I try to process everything I just read. The world is ending, there’s just no way around it. So, what do you do? Squeeze in that dream vacation? Repair broken relationships? Blow your entire fortune? As each day ticks by, where do you choose to spend your time, and who do you wan...

I should have trusted my gut and skipped this one; I'm not even sure what genre *We've Been Here Before* by Suzy Krause falls into – fantasy, sci-fi, something else entirely? For me, it was just plain weird, unfocused, and kind of all over the place. Definitely not one of the best book reviews I've written lately!

My brain is struggling to fully grasp and process this novel – in the best possible way. "We've Been Here Before" by Suzy Krause is a truly unique read! We often (or at least I do) speculate about the world ending. Sometimes these hypotheticals involve talks about exploding into a giant ball of fire, and other times they're fueled by reading a novel set in a post-apocalyptic universe. However, I don't know if I've ever read a book where there's a set date for the end of the world, and the charac...

This was a thoughtful, sweet, and refreshing novel about… the end of the world. Refreshing, because I've read so many about the inevitable climate-change caused apocalypse that the earth ending due to outside forces felt like a novel concept. We didn't start the fire! Dark humor aside, *We've Been Here Before* is a love story to life, family, and romance. It's well paced, suspenseful, and plays with concepts of time and space in really novel ways. A quick and very unexpectedly enjoyable read. If...

"Even at the end of the world, perspective makes a difference."

This book is a beautiful slow burn. I just wish I understood what happened with the cat. 😊

Thanks to Netgalley for the chance to read an advance copy of "We've Been Here Before" by Suzy Krause. A great read!

Reading *We've Been Here Before* by Suzy Krause felt like watching an artist paint an image upside down. All along, there are these interwoven clues that your mind grabs onto, trying to make sense of what you're seeing. But it's just out of reach until the artist flips the canvas with a flourish, and the whole picture snaps into focus. That's exactly what Suzy Krause does in *We've Been Here Before*. I highlighted at least 20 bits of foreshadowing on my Kindle. Looking back, a couple felt like ...

I honestly don’t know if I can find the right words to express how incredible I found **We've Been Here Before** by **Suzy Krause** without spoiling anything. The deliberate way things seem a little 'off' throughout the story? It all clicks perfectly by the end. And the underlying message, even though it deals with something depressing like the end of the world, is strangely beautiful and comforting. Definitely one of the best book reviews I've written this year!

(Edit #1: If you're here because you want to know what's up with the cat, I made this for you: THE CAT —there's even a picture of The Cat. She's not a typo; she's a clue!)(Edit #2: Thanks to everyone who has commented below! I won't be checking back and responding to comments here anymore because I don't want readers to feel like I'm a ghost hovering above my own Goodreads listing, but I really have loved hearing from you.)Hi! I wrote this book and I hope you like it. **We've Been Here Before** ...

Wow. I just finished "We've Been Here Before" and I’m sitting here sobbing. I picked up an ARC of this book, thinking the plot sounded quite interesting. I was totally unprepared for how raw this story is, how human the characters are, and how relatable every sentence was. It just absolutely blew me away. I can’t wait for this to come out, so I can recommend "We've Been Here Before" by Suzy Krause to everyone. The plot was brilliant and unusual, but the book is, at its heart, a very human story,...
