The Lives We Nearly Chose

by Rowan Ellis

Ten years ago, Amelia, Farah and Lottie wrote letters to their future selves.

Ten years ago, Amelia, Farah and Lottie wrote letters to their future selves. At thirty-two, they finally open them, and discover just how far their lives have drifted from everything they once expected. Amelia was supposed to live abroad. Farah was supposed to become an artist. Lottie was supposed to travel the world and never build her life around motherhood. Then, one by one, those old futures start opening their doors again. Amelia is offered six months in Singapore. Farah is pulled back into the art world she abandoned. Lottie gets the kind of reporting assignment she once dreamed about. Suddenly, three best friends are watching each other become bolder, more restless, and harder to recognise. Support turns into jealousy. Old compromises start to hurt. Relationships that once felt settled begin asking dangerous questions. Because getting a second chance at the life you wanted sounds romantic… until you realise you’re not the person who wanted it anymore.
