A tad slow to begin, but the last two thirds of the book was highly engaging! One of my favorite reads of the year.

Such an incredible dialogue between life and death - a new favorite!

2.5 It was a light read, but no substances at all. Everything thing was so predictable and the "self-love" / "Healing" was just not done right. It was even a bit problematic. Basically Nora tried a couple other lives to realized that hers was not so that bad and her depression was "cured". No mention of therapy, anti depressant are demonized throughout the book. A life where is doesn't take antidepressant must be a life is very happy in...
The writing in itself felt like the books you pick up at the train station during summer holidays

So fucking amazing. This book was truly just, ugh, I don’t have the right words to say how much I loved it. This is the best book I’ve read all year. Maybe the best book I’ve ever read. It was such an original concept and I enjoyed all the twists and turns of the journey with Nora. What a character and what a character arc. We all live life with regrets and sometimes we’re overwhelmed by hopelessness. But this book shows us how truly beautiful life can be. How the things we think might make us happy, might now. How we regret the things we did or didn’t do, but it doesn’t always mean they were the wrong choices. All the decisions we make in our lives take us down our individual paths, living and experiencing. This book was the best kind of emotional rollercoaster. No emotion was spared and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Wow. I wish I could read it again for the first time. I recommend this book to everyone. Anyone who has regrets, anyone who isn’t sure about life, anyone who isn’t sure about who they are. Take this journey. You won’t regret it.
