The last 25% of the book I really enjoyed. The first 75% I would say was “ok”. I liked the premise, and from my professional background was pleased with how it ended (I was a little concerned that if it was any other ending than the one the author chose, it would send the wrong message about depression, suicide and mental health). However, the different lives/universes just didn’t grab me in and I found it slow going until the ending picked up pace.

This book found me after an unintentionally very long break from reading, and I couldn’t be more grateful. This book saw right through me and pulled me in immediately. Though the story is at times difficult, and the emotions veered towards heavy, it was easy to dive into the story. I had to know what would happen to Nora, and I also wanted to know what I would think and discover through reading her story. So wonderfully enjoyable. I have a feeling I’ll re-read many times.

This story was beautiful! I think it was a good read as someone who has been suicidal in the past and has often felt an intense loss of will to continue. I think the end felt a bit rushed into what a semi-perfect version of things would be like. But I understand the point is to be hopeful. Overall, I loved this read! The way it tackles regrets and intentional living is wonderful.
