4.0

A solid four stars… A meaningful novel with “choose your own adventure” elements that feels kind of like the movie The Secret Life of Walter Mitty with vibes from Plath and Thoreau and “wibbley-wobbley-timey-wimey stuff,” with a backdrop of clinical depression. Although I didn’t agree with all of the philosophical stances, the book was thoughtful, with just the right amount of fantasy, and was hopeful with a feel-good ending. However, I did feel like it was a bit overhyped. 
Content: there is mention of alcohol, suicidal ideation, medical procedures, drunkenness, homosexuality and heterosexuality, death, some language… but nothing explicit; fairly tame.
