Zero Days by Ruth Ware

Did not finish book. Stopped at 0%.
Kinda got bored, and the main characters crucial choice in the police station just seemed so unbelievable that I stopped believing in her.

2.0

The alternate universe aspect of the book is interesting, though not particularly groundbreaking. But I'd never recommend it to others simply because the framing -- woman in the process of killing herself
finds new perspective that makes her want to live
-- seems so entirely fraught and not at all carefully handled.
