I actually feel guilty anytime I rate a book anything lower than a 3. I know the author worked hard to create the story and I know that someone somewhere loved the book. This book, though, was not for me. I had to keep reminding myself that the main character, Adelaide, was 17 years old – a teenager. I just did not find her likable. Everything was someone else’s fault and she was so obsessed with her recent breakup and then thinking she has found her soulmate. I get that the purpose was to talk about life and love and relationships and pain and happiness and all of these different things. The alternate realities/universe/possibility were hard to get used to at the beginning, but ended up being mostly interesting in the end - so I guess that’s a positive? It was an interesting and unique writing style.

Not sure how I feel about this - it was easy to read and I liked the setting but I wasn't really gripped. The whole multiverse aspect was interesting but not really explained and I didn't feel connected to any of the characters really.
The writing was really beautiful though and I liked the little details of adalaide's art and dog walking - that added a lot to her character I think.

Läste ut den här boken på en dag. Fångad från första sidan.
”She was inclined to laziness,
curiosity, and
magical thinking.”
Fascinerad av språket, meningsbyggnaden och inslaget av poesi. Handlingen är enkel. Typisk YA. Men skriven på ett originellt sätt. Karaktärerna känns verkliga, trovärdiga. Så mycket känsla. Vardaglig, sorglig, vacker och magisk på en och samma gång.

Cute romance with a twist into parallel universes. Fun to explore many different possibilities.
Thank you to Random House Children’s Books and NetGalley for the advance copy.
