5.0

So this book scored pretty high on the relatable scale for me. I could see a lot of myself in the main character, Nora. I have also thought quite often about what I would change if I could start all over again, so this book hit pretty close to home. I feel like this feeling is common for people, which is why I think it's so popular. 

I honestly don't have much to say about this book. It sucked me in, and now I want to go for meandering walks, and explore all the side streets of my neighborhood. I did read that the author has/had depression, which I am currently getting treatment for for the first time in my life, so the commentary on life and living was what I needed right now. 

It's just a book that made my soul happy.
