This was a fun read. It was pretty predictable, but not in a way I minded. It was fun to see all of the possible lives Nora could have led, and interesting to see the difference between lives others influenced her to want versus the life she felt she would have wanted. It really did make me think about the small things in life that feel mundane and worthless, and realize that it's not a bad thing to have a life with mundane aspects as long as you are living in a way you are happy about.
