The first line had me. But then, as I continued, I loved exploring with the character.

I really enjoyed this book from beginning to end, and kind of hoped it would continue on. Matt Haig managed to turn a very dark theme into a philosophical experience, and added just the right amount of humour all throughout the book. I felt strangely more alive and more appreciative of everything after reading it.

Part of me really hoped that Nora would go directly to Ash after coming back to life, as he represents a future that is still in sole ways possible. But it is also good authorship to know when to let things open.
