Unexpectedly emotional for the family aspects. This is a YA book with romantic relationships in it but it is not "a" romance, and it is not lighthearted even though it's not exactly dark. More like heavy with the themes of grief. I chose this for the multiverse aspect which provided unique and interesting format for the prose, and kept me engaged; the romantic content was just incidental bc the story has to be about *some*thing someone wants to do over. 

The trigger warning I didnt know I needed that no book would provide: estranged-younger-brother/sibling-who-hurt-you-reaches-out-to-reconnect;
This had me sobbing.

"I love him and im furious and i dont trust him but I can tell he loves me"

Reading this book felt like watching a random comfort film who’s plot you don’t exactly understand but you enjoy the vibes and characters anyway.

When think to yourself and wish things could be different or you when wish you didn't make that mistake you come back to this book and see that maybe your universe timeline isn't best one out there but it also not the worst one either.

the parallel universes concept was intriguing but really difficult to listen to as an audiobook. also, teen romance is not for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This made me think a lot. I really loves this book. I thought in the beginning maybe I was going to have to ditch it but it came through in full force at the end and really resonated with me. Adelaide is such a complex character. I also really love how the author decided to add a multiverse aspect into the book to show more development to the characters and the story.

This to me is a book about the different types of love we come across and how they manifest. I especially love how romantic love isn’t seen as the solution. Adelaide at one point even tells Mikey ‘it’s not his job to make me happy’, which I thought was very powerful. I’d love to see more of that in (YA) fiction, instead of main characters who cling on to toxic relationships. 
I love Lockwood’s writing style, and all the different universes really added even more to that. I am still confused about what actually happened, though. I thought I got the idea behind some of the universes, but I couldn’t distinguish all of them properly (in one universe Jack is dating a girlfriend from a philosophy class, but that was the only clear distinguishable universe to me). The ending left me even more confused. Still, without understanding why, I found it hard to put this book down.
