What stood out to me the most was how Haig captured the weight of depression while still crafting a narrative that felt uplifting rather than overwhelming. The concept of a library filled with alternate versions of one’s life was both intriguing and comforting—it made me reflect on my own choices and realize that life, even with its uncertainties, is still worth living.
The only minor issue I had was with the pacing; at times, certain sections felt a bit slow or repetitive. However, that didn’t take away from the overall impact of the story. This book is a must-read for anyone struggling with self-doubt or regret. It won’t magically fix everything, but it might just change the way you see your own life.
