Super strong debut novel! The idea is super unique and it's written really well. I do think it could've done with abput 60 fewer pages. The husbands get a bit redundant at points and I skimmed through some parts, but overall a great read! I would recommend this instead of Midnight Library because I feel like it's the same concept/vibe, but WAYYYY better, lol.

I really enjoyed this one. It's a clever thought experiment about choices, contentment, and destiny. I would have liked to have spent a little more time with the final husband. The audio narration was well done.
