I thought this book was fine. A bit predictable and a touch preachy. Otherwise, it was a fun perspective on live and the constant wonder of "what if".

5.0

This was such an inspiring book!! The concept was so fascinating with the 'book of regrets' and the idea of getting to experience your parallel lives, v thought-provoking. I loved the message behind the story of basically the importance and value of every single little action, and how seemingly small things can make such an impact. It especially emphasised this in a positive way which I liked :) the quote of "you don't have to understand life, you just have to live it" resonated with me a lot too, and the whole story just left me which such a feeling of inspiration, awe at the universe, gratitude for being alive, everything like that. Its hard to put into words, but this book is just such a beautiful one about the human experience, and I think everybody should read it!
Even though it may have been a tad predictable, and the beginning was very hard to read with the heavy content, and the characters weren't absolutely amazing, I still loved the story and the message behind it :)
