3.0

it was good but there just was an obsession with wanting the main character to WANT to be alive. it felt like all noras character was was an amalgam of depression and regret. the other characters had a lot more depth and while the ending was satisfying it was also predictable. the writing was great, the concept was interesting, but i didn’t really like the way mental health was discussed. it seemed pretty preachy

This book was good! I don't regret reading it, but based on all the praise it received, I had been expecting more. I liked going through most of the book, but I didn't like the conclusion.

I loved the story’s concept, there were lots of thought-provoking quotes, and I really enjoyed the last 100 pages or so, but I was bored by the writing style at times and struggled to get through most of it.
