A narrative self-help book with a creative twist. The premise is different from what I've come across in this genre. However, the writing could have been a bit better.  I felt the first few chapters could have been a little shorter and less cliché. Additionally, some of the dialogue seemed stiff and unrealistic.

Really enjoyed reading this book! It was very thoughtful and a fun adventure to go through, thinking about the concepts of regret and parallel lives. I am glad that it had a happy ending which inspires you to appreciate your life as it is, while empowering you to take control of your life. Great read, especially for folks in their 20s and 30s, or in the midst of big life decisions!

I had heard nothing but good things about this book. I was hesitant with it at the start but I found myself wanting to continue. Much like the character in the book. I enjoyed it and the ending was very pleasant and unexpected. I would recommend this.
