I hate when the ending of a book is so good it bumps its star rating up one. The ending was so good but the rest of the book was kind of bland and slow. 

I put every possible content warning I saw the minor ones were pretty much just mentioned by the word and same with a few of the moderate ones but they repeated a bit.

What is I told you you had an infinite number of alternative lives out there and they were all a page turn away. You could try them out and step back out any time you decide it isn’t the perfect life. Would you grab the book? Would you explore all of the possibilities?
 I really enjoyed this book, it had me thinking about my life and where I would have made changes, what I think the other me’s are up to.

This book was refreshing and a nice surprise. I love the concept of this book: when you die, you go to a comforting and familiar place with someone from your past to bring you comfort. This person gives you the option to explore parallel universes that you could have lived. The main character, Nora, goes to a library after attempting suicide. After exploring many parallel lives, she ultimately sees the potential in her root life. I think this book is essential for anyone who has dealt with depression and suicidal thoughts, or just needs a reminder of the uniqueness of life, and the effect our decisions have on not only ourselves but those around us. At first, I thought that the main character was too “ordinary” but after finishing, I realize that was intentional. Most of us feel ordinary, but are capable of extraordinary futures depending on our decisions and outlook. The only caveat that I have with this book is that it was kind of slow. I realize that this is needed in order to get the theme and message of the book, but it held me up. I also think that if someone is impatient, they might not finish this book. Regardless, I do think it is worth reading for everyone!

Incredibly mid tier and offers a bland take on mental health issues (that it insists is revolutionary).

It was a little cliche and predictable, but overall a good message and a cool concept. The first half was pretty boring but the second half wasn’t bad.
