Had great expectations for this one, but got disappointed. It was sooo overhyped, the author had a great idea that has so much potential, but the book is just a 3/5. The beginning was meh, the middle parts kinda picked up and the ending wasn't my favorite. ngl the ending was boring. 
i liked the AU where she married happily, had a daughter, a happy life, her brother was alive and happily married and their relationship wasn't ruined. I think the book should've ended somewhere there, where Nora stays in that universe and is happy and content with her life. Would've satisfied me so much more than the original ending.
 

the concept was good nonetheless, but the book was a waste of potential:(
