While this is an AMAZING concept, I do not think it was executed in the best way. It was very cliche and very cheesy in the end. And the description of Nora jumping into her new lives got very repetitive and predictable. 

While it was still a pleasure to read, it also felt like the author was specifically writing the book with the intention of having someone make it into a movie. There were basically a couple of basic stories that you knew that you were going to see followed by a sped up montage, which felt kind of forced.

Enjoyable, easy read. I believe it could have been executed better.

I needed to read this book at this moment in my life. It reminded me that although we all wish some things in our lives were different and have ‘what if’s’ fill our heads often, there is so much beauty in life and choosing to live. Each of us, even those who feel like they don’t matter much, matter. One small action could change the course of someone’s life, and you deserve to be around to see it.
