Loved the concept … the ending felt a little predictable and too tidy, but given the subject matter and my own headspace right now, I wasn’t too upset about it.

Absolutely stunning representation of what it’s like to be depressed and have a multitude of regrets in life while also leading up to the inspirational notion that even with them, the important thing is to feel to potential in the life you do have. The wittiness, the realism in the expansion of what is still considered “science fiction”, the way the reader can easily fall in step with the characters and plot line is absolutely a work of great craftsmanship. This is a must read for all types of people, but especially those who are struggling with their own regrets.

Haig reflects on depression, lost dreams, and regret. His overall message is uplifting, but dense with difficult themes. A very good read overall.

This a cute, uplifting book. You can't help reflecting on your own life when you read it. It's a very interesting concept but it can be a bit didactic. The ideas the author is trying to convey are a bit on the nose at points. I wouldn't say it's a must-read for everyone but it's certainly an enjoyable book

A fast, enjoyable but kind of "middle of the road" read. Made me think about my life choices. The moral of the story felt a bit on the nose... but like I said, enjoyable read!
