Shriver was recommended by a friend and I was pleasantly surprised by my aptitude for her writing! This book of alternate endings kept me enthralled as I embraced the social commentary, the fluctuating outlooks on death, life and family, and our own autonomy. The story does take an few strange and whacky turns as we see some of these possible outcomes reveal themselves, but I was able to take them in stride and still maintain my captivation. I'll be sure to embrace her other books in time.
