I have so many regrets I would be stuck forever

I enjoyed reading it and the concept was neat, but it veered a little too much into preachy and/or moralizing territory.

Another one that’s hard for me to rate. The premise is a good one and it’s a quick and easy read that still covers a lot. The formatting (quick chapters) is excellent, as is the writing. It feels like it will stick with me, but it’s not something I see myself rereading. I felt that the heaviness of depression and suicide were too muted and brushed over. I wonder why the author (male) decided to have the MC be female. Doesn’t take away anything for me, but is interesting nonetheless.

Really interesting concept and I appreciated the message but it was a bit corny

I was way more into this book than I thought I would be. Nora went from a meh character to someone I truly adored at the end. I also love the idea of getting to experience the life you would have had with one different decision and exploring the implications of that decision.
