So incredibly relatable the way the author details the notion of regret and intertwined that with the idea of multiverses.  I also love that it was tied it to back to idea that "you are where you are meant to be". Sometimes story-telling can cause me to feel disconnected from the character but the way this story is told, its hard not to feel to Nora. You yearn for her to find a life she loves while also reflecting on tour own. The one thing I didn't enjoy was how easily brushed off her very much ongoing struggles with depression were towards the end. It seemed to imply that the author believed it could be cured or at least was cured for the character.
