I like the idea of the book. I don’t like how it is written. I don’t like the idea of spoon-feeding ideas and emotions. It’s like it was dictating me how I should feel. It’s tiring. I love the idea of being able to try different lives tho.

While I liked the premise, I think the way it was executed was a bit too cosy for me.

I can imagine myself having read this at a slightly different time and rolling my eyes throughout the whole thing; but I picked it up at the right moment and fucking loved it. For each of the last nine chapters, I thought the book had ended…yet it kept going…but I ate up every last trite life reflection and Natasha Bedingfield “the rest is still unwritten” fortune cookie vibes, and I am somehow a big fan. Bonus points for strong sibling love theme.
