REVIEW
I become lovesick every time a book this kind falls in my hands. Love across time and space, souls and incarnations with a hint of mystery in it, creates a perfect blend of a story!
"The next together" begins in the middle of 18th century when Katherine and Matthew meet for the first time into the Jacobite war. I did have a quick reminder of Jamie Fraser from the Outlander here but the point was that they defied class and society in order to be together.
In a continuous plotline we move from 18th century to 1855-56 in Crimaic war where another reincarnations of the same characters meet and then we move forward to 21th century where the last two reincarnations are closely connected to each other.
Except from the historical references which also were quite accurate, I loved how the author connected Matthew's and Katherine's lives through a twist I didn't quite expect. It left me astonished in a good way but with a small question mark about the future.
Maybe that is the love about this book; you reach the end and you can imagine what will happen in the future. The use of documents, letters, notes and computer searches also apply in the book which add a more material detail to the story.
This book is a true gem and you must read it since it is something that all the readers can enjoy!
