I really enjoyed this, it was definitely something that made me think (which i don’t enjoy doing most of the time). the premise was so interesting and i was captivated the entire time, but honestly by the end i thought it was trying to spoon feed the message to us rather than letting the reader figure it out ya know? regardless, really good and im glad I read it.

im also not a fan of slow plot-driven books so I listened to this one on audio book and it was a 10/10 listen.

Fantastic read. I struggle with mental illness and immediately felt deeply connected to the main character, Nora. Her journey living out alternative lives and "what-ifs" is equally adventurous as it is emotional, and the lessons learned along the way really resonated with me. For me the storyline was predictable, but it was beautifully done and I couldn't put it down.
