I wanted to love this book, and I don’t, but I do like it. The writing is sweet and funny and the storyline (which gets repeated and changed 4 times) is entertaining. The problem I had was with the amount of repetition and how much of the book that took up. I found myself confused, and then bored by the narrative tools the author chose to create the feeling of the multiverse. This being said, the final 45 pages were very satisfying. The moral of the story was stated a bit obviously and a bit late, but it main sense due to the bull headedness of the main character. This story was sweet but didn’t change my world.
