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.

This book from the start to finish, had me experiencing an emotional rollercoaster. Not only did this book reveal some pretty incredible life lessons to me, I found that I could resonate with the main character and the obstacles she encountered. To describe this book in one word, it was real. The feels, the downfalls of the character, the most human emotions were portrayed through her. The only reason I didn't give it a full five stars was because the ending left me a bit unsatisfied as to getting closure with the MC's plot line, other than that this book was absolutely fantastic, and will make you reflect on yourself and the way you are living your life!

I know I took this book out of my own accord, but I didn't quite expect to love this as much as I did. Nora was difficult to like and root for in the beginning, but then I soon realized how much of it was only her dread and regret seeping in, not what is actually true.

It's no religious book—as someone who isn't, I'm grateful for the secular handling of the matter—bit it gave me faith in love more so than my previous religion ever did.

Something that will make you look upon a life in a different way. It is refreshing and eye-opening story. Love the philosophy part of it.
