I started reading this book with mixed feelings because I've seen a lot of mixed reactions about this book. Many think of it as a book you should read to get a perspective on life or something. So I am happy with how it turned out. I normally don't end up liking most of the books that are supposed to give you life lessons or things like that. But I was very satisfied with this book. Yes, it gives life lessons, but it doesn't feel like that. It feels so natural.
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.
