Beautiful and heartbreaking and the perfect book to choose as my first audiobook thanks to Carey Mulligan's incredible voice work. This book tackles themes of suicide and depression while managing to stay hopeful, and hits notes everyone will find relatable. All of us have a Book of Regrets, and all of us have toyed with "what-ifs." This is going on the 5-star shelf for sure.
