A nice, quick fable. Not particularly deep but a strong conceit that makes a pleasurable read.

There was no warning about the self harm and that would have been an easy and helpful thing to add

"Where there are books, there is always a temptation to open them."

Reminiscent of the movie "It's A Wonderful Life," except instead of only experiencing one alternative, the protagonist experiences many.  It does get a bit preachy, but so did "It's A Wonderful Life."

This is such a poignant book! The themes explored are explored in such a way that is just…beautiful. And the underlying message is so inspiring. Though this isn’t exactly my style of book, I didn’t have the moment of “oh, I love this book”, it was an amazing read, and I will definitely be recommending it!

What an incredible story and such a good message! This book gave me major Addie LaRue vibes but is a completely different plot. I loved this book so much!

Mixed reviews of this left me with weird expectations but I think I liked this! Some of the first trips Nora took were kind of weird to me and it did get a bit boring at time but I really enjoyed the ending.

I thought it was odd that people had to die in her other lives, like if she went to Australia her friend would die?? I mean I guess not everything had to have a deep meaning. The whole message seems to be appreciate what you have and I can see that being a tired topic but it worked for me!
