Okay let me tell you!!!! I was very excited to read the book because i‘ve heard so much about it. When it took me a while to get into the plot, it frustrated me a little. But as the story continued, everything got explained!! I got a little bored towards the middle because the book is so extremely slow paced, but I still really appreciated to read about Nora’s adventures and got really emotional with her the deeper i got suck into the book!! I have to admit I cried a few times!! I looovvveee the message off the book!! i definitely recommend everyone to READ THIS BOOK!!!!
Spoiler
I think everyone has some things they would’ve wanted to do differently in their life looking back at it but only cause we forget that every choice we make, affects us to become the individual beings we are. I‘ve definitely learnt my lesson and will try to be more grateful for every decision i made whether it turned out to be a mistake or was an awesome one!! and I might also take more chances in the future?

Never have I ever read a book as beautiful and profound as this one. Just read it. Literally a life changer to put it simply.

Incredibly thoughtful and profound while still maintaining the same snappy pace and humor that I come to expect from Matt Haig. This really could have only been written by this author at this time. A genuinely special book.

I liked this book. It was very well written with a good premise, I think it’s definitely worth a read. It didn’t blow me out of the water but I enjoyed it a lot and Nora is a very compelling character.
