Nora has had a lot of shit happen to her and I think most people will understand what it feels like to question or even regret your choices later in life, but this is a valid lesson in learning that though maybe some choices hurt, they ultimately make you you and wanting to turn back time or redo them is gonna land you in other kinds of shit.

I think this concept would have worked equally well as a nonfiction self-help book as it did in fiction. The concept is exceptional but I didn’t *love* the execution.
Mrs Elm’s character was super interesting despite the reader not really knowing anything about her. I don’t know, I just found her very comforting somehow.
I think people should specify that this book is fundamentally about suicide before recommending it to other people because it could actually be quite triggering.
Either way, great concept, strong message, I enjoyed it.
