It was a little cliche and predictable, but overall a good message and a cool concept. The first half was pretty boring but the second half wasn’t bad.

Would’ve DNF if I did that, but I like seeing a book through to its end. This was especially (over) hyped on social media and no idea why considering most reviews are bad?! I couldn’t attach myself to Nora on an emotional level. Did find some things relatable here and there and the ending bittersweet but that’s what really saved it. The concept was really good but the execution was terrible. It feels like a half-assed “Before the Coffee Gets Cold”. Best character was Plato the labrador. Don’t waste your time, please.

A disappointing book, there is no character development but lots of repetitive writing.

Too straightforwardly corny for me and emotionally manipulative the way it
kills people off in the AUs via butterfly effect.

But the short chapters are like crack for my bad attention span brain, I'll give it that.

Beautiful, thought-provoking, and well-written, this novel takes on a whirlwind adventure through all of Nora’s might-have-been lives. Her journey to finding the right life only ends when she learns what she’s always been looking for, which may come as a surprise. Haig writes of despair, anger, sadness, longing, love, joy, and life in an illuminating and realistic way, teaching the reader plenty of lessons about themselves along the way. With all the thoughts swirling in my head lately, this was the perfect novel on which to end this year. Here’s to finding the life we were meant to live!

Wow! This is not the type of book that I usually read but I ended up falling in love with it. I will warn that there are a lot of heavy storylines within it but I felt like it ended perfectly
