Over the last few years, there have been many shows and movies regarding the multiverse. Am I getting bored with it? Not really. It comes down to the question, 'What if?' What if I made this decision instead of that? Blake did a fantastic job of writing this story, and the characters were engaging and full of life. It also brought up some thoughts provoking questions. How many versions of me are there every time I made a decision?

My only complaint is that the chapters are incredibly long. Other than that, it was easily one of the most interesting books I’ve read in a while.

I listened to the audiobook, and I’m not sure how much of my “meh” feelings were due to the choppy style of the narrator and how much was the author’s writing style. There wasn’t much character development, and the fact that these men were all fighting against each other for who was going to get to be with the wife and daughter was so arrogant. What/who THEY wanted was of no concern to the man who was supposed to love them. Ick
