I loved this book! So unique, a breath of fresh air, wild story.   Part Sci Fi, part mystery.   Maybe 1% romance.

For fans of The Matrix, Vanilla Sky and Butterfly effect.  Extremely readable.

Marsh is the guest on season three of the world's most successful and world impacting show, All This and More, inside of a quantum bubble so the contestant over 10 episodes can change things from their life and get into the more ideal version.  And who hasn't wondered if there is an alternate universe in which you never...dropped out of school or met your ex or gone to college in a different town or took a different job.   This allows us to indulge that sort of fantasy.   For those out there that use prayer as a part of their spirituality, I often think of unanswered prayers as God's way of saying "I know you THINK you want that, but you really don't."  (Sometimes-- but other times what I pray for is just dumb--- but I digress).  

I got the audiobook version which I regret.  If you are deciding between audio and others, I would not do audio.  It requires you to skip to certain sections as you choose Marsh's adventure, however, some of the segments in the audio book have the EXACT same titles so it is difficult to determine if you have chosen correctly.
