Synopsis

What happens when you think you have it all, and then, suddenly it’s taken away?Willa Chandler-Golden’s father changed the world: with his self-help bestseller Is It Really Your Choice? Why Your Entire Life May Be Out of Your Control, millions of devoted fans found solace in the notion that everything happens for a reason. Though Willa isn’t entirely convinced of his prophesies, she readily admits that the universe has delivered her a solid life: a reliable husband, a fast-paced career. Sure there are hiccups—negative pregnancy tests, embattled siblings—but this is what the universe has brought, and life, if you don’t think about it too much, is wonderful.Then her (evidently not-so-reliable) husband proposes this: a two month break. Two months to see if they couldn’t live their lives without each other. And before Willa can sort out destiny and fate and what it all means, she’s axed from her job, her twelve-year-old nephew Nicky moves in, her ex-boyfriend finds her on Facebook, and her best friend Vanessa lands a gig writing for Dare You!, the hottest new reality TV show. And then Vanessa lures Willa into dares of her own—dares that run counter to her father’s theories of fate, dares that might change everything…but only if Willa is brave enough to stop listening to the universe and instead aim for the stars.

Goodreads review by Jonna on November 14, 2013

First, a word about the author and the process. Winn Scotch self-published this, and one of the reasons she did so was to be able to set her own price to make it affordable for readers. It is tempting to see this as disingenuous, because another benefit to self-publishing is that she doesn't have to......more

Goodreads review by Karolyn on December 06, 2013

Is it me who's changing, or is it chick-lit that's changing? I loved Allison Winn Scotch's first novel, THE DEPARTMENT OF LOST AND FOUND. This novel, THE THEORY OF OPPOSITES? Not so much. Ms. Scotch, whom I adore via Social Media, might prefer to call this Women's Fiction, but it didn't seem to have......more

Goodreads review by Claire on November 06, 2013

Truly Allison Winn Scotch's best work yet. It grabbed me on the first page and never let go. Her confidence in her ability to tell this story really shines through. She knows these characters and their story and tells it seamlessly. So fun and compelling, and I just loved Willa and Vanessa's friends......more

Goodreads review by Peebee on December 12, 2013

Allison Winn Scotch is one of the authors I love and will automatically read all that she's written. While that probably isn't going to change, I do have to say I haven't been as happy with her last couple of books as I was with her first ones. Willa is one of the most indecisive characters I've eve......more

Goodreads review by Laura Kay on December 27, 2013

[URL not allowed] The Theory of Opposites has the feel of most books in it's same genre, but this one takes it one step more and made me stop and think about what do I think? Do I believe in fate, so it doesn't matter what I do and think the outcome is always going to be the sa......more
