I think the author explores a really interesting concept about somebody who isn't happy with their life experiencing different variations of what could have been. And I think that the author explored that well in terms of showing the different variations of life and how even and ones where the characters successful doesn't mean it's always the best life or that everything is perfect. This book is definitely quick feel good read a little temporary boosts and momentum. I don't have very many issues with the writing style though I will admit sometimes the message felt really in your face and really corny. I think that this book could have been a lot more beautiful if the message was more so shown rather than told. I also think that the author didn't do a really good job of showing the reality of depression and suicide ideation. I think that the characters recovery so to speak was too unrealistic; however, for this fictional story I do think that it makes sense for the message of the author's trying to get across. Overall, this book was enjoyable.
