To be honest, my favourite part of this book were the last 25 pages~, because this book just dragged on forever.
There's quite a few monologues throughout which feel repetitive as they say the same thing with different wording.
Out of all of the lives Nora lived, the only one I actually enjoyed reading was her life with Ash, and the life she returned to and turned around at the very end. The others felt almost repetitive.
About halfway through this book, I was ready to drop it but decided to power through and finish it. It was definitely a struggle.
