This book was a slightly depressing series of “would you rather” choices. You discover, along with Nora as she travels the many possibilities of her life, that there’s not always a right and a wrong decision to be made.
This story reminded me of the movies Sliding Doors or The Butterfly Effect, in that the reader (viewer) keeps having ideas of what will lead to the HEA, but it’s still not right.
The concept was executed in a bit of a confusing way for me, kind of a bureaucratic after-life as you see in The Good Place or Loki. Lots of confusing rules and some waiting around in lines.
I enjoyed seeing a single character in so many roles. They all seemed to make sense based on the setup, so I enjoyed that the author didn’t just throw the character into random settings.
The ending was more mundane than I expected. I think if I had read this before I absolutely loved Dark Matter by Blake Crouch, I may have enjoyed this more. But this felt like a much sleepier and far less romantic version of that.
