I enjoyed it, I enjoyed the imaginative look at the space between life and death, and reading about Nora's exploration of regret and the paths not taken. This book deals with suicide, depression, and grief so it can be heavy at times but I thought the author handled the subjects well and it was relatable. Who hasn't wondered 'What if'? when it comes to different choices and experiences in life?
