Too straightforwardly corny for me and emotionally manipulative the way it

kills people off in the AUs via butterfly effect.

But the short chapters are like crack for my bad attention span brain, I'll give it that.

Wow! This is not the type of book that I usually read but I ended up falling in love with it. I will warn that there are a lot of heavy storylines within it but I felt like it ended perfectly
