I really enjoyed the idea of reliving someone's life via stories told every minute of the 10 minutes during which their brain is shutting down due to death. The flashbacks were told so well, and you really got to understand the character and the most important people in her life.
Where it fell apart was after the 10 minutes one jumped to her friends and a "quest".
Edited to add:

This is a very emotional story, with Leila going through a lot on her childhood and a lot as an adult. Through the story, we learn about her closest friends she met along the way and all the characters felt so real and so complex.
Spoiler:
Overall, I really loved this story, it was very emotional at times and I felt for Leila at every point. Beautiful story ❤️

Could have been a 5 star but prose was a bit dry.

Second part could have been shorter, that's the only reason I don't give it a 5.
Very curious about her other work
