3.0

A bit frustrating of a read. I think the concept of the book and the overall message are both awesome, but the execution fell very flat for me. The “magic” system in the book is not well thought out, which made the underlying message obvious from the start. I think the message would and could have been more powerful if

she understood the path to get to each of her lives and still felt regret.

Still, the ending landed relatively well and is a nice read for someone struggling with issues of regret.
