know when some tragedy strikes and people say how they're always there if you need someone or there's always something to live for? they generally mean it, but it comes off trite instead of meaningfully.
that's what this book feels like. like this is how someone sees the ease of overcoming depression and ideation. all you need is love. all you need to do is wait a few more minutes. nora did what she was supposed to do, but when she needed people, they weren't there. instead, she went on an adventure of pop psychology and pop quantum physics and decided life was worth living after all because she did mean something to people (who never told her she mattered).
this book might have some interesting events (polar bear) but mostly not.
the most important lesson here is tell people they matter to you.

I liked the journey of Nora. How indecisive she is. Not because it's a good or bad thing, but because it's so humane. How she gradually learns about things, values and loves. I was wondering if I was Nora, who would be my Mrs. Elm? This book made me think about things I haven't even considered before. It was such an eye-opening experience. I really enjoyed it.

But this is a work of art, I found myself genuinely laughing and crying throughout the chapters, It was so beautifully written, so emotive. This is going to be a hard act to follow when I read my next fiction book.
