I have to admit I do kinda believe in faith and I think this books found me when I needed it the most. (Or more like my brother saved me a little bit by picking this from my to read list and getting it for my birthday❤️)
Amazing book! Very well written, easy to read and it doesn’t feel like trying to forcefully change your world but it gave the the heaviest happy tears.

I really liked the concept & I wonder what my “library” would look like. The overall message was nice & helps give good perspective on life/living.

Get the audiobook!

A life of regret is a life not worth living… perhaps. Searingly painful, but Carey Mulligan’s reading is exquisite listening.

the writing was a bit childish at times, but this book found me at such a time that its message feels very impactful for me.

It didn’t grab me, and the premise was weird. The main character didn’t feel real.

Gosh this was lovely.

Bonus: Carey Mulligan reads the audiobook.

I haven't related so heavily to a book in a LONG time. It's so easy to get caught up in all of the things we didn't do but wish we had, or the things we did that we shouldn't have. All of the choices we make every single day, no matter how seemingly minuscule, make us who we are. It's overwhelming to think about, but it also means there are limitless possibilities to who we can become. No self help book has ever conveyed so thoroughly just how important it is that we live our lives because, as much as we may hope otherwise, this is the only one we get.
