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.

3.0

This book had a strange mix of being pretentious yet predictable, simple yet profound almost as if it were deep but only on the surface. I would say it was a nice easy read but it explores a lot of dark themes rather rashly and the message would likely be hidden behind all the triggers for those the message is intended for.

The ending was cheesy and brought the book down for me. But it was a really fascinating concept and, until the end, I felt the author treated the difficult subject matter with care.
