Do you love wallowing in self-pity and self-loathing? If so, this book is going to be your jam! The beginning of the book wasn't bad.  The FMC was a bored housewife with a neglectful husband and a daughter who actively avoided her.  She questioned whether it was worth giving up her once promising career as a journalist to become a mother.  The Mulligan Curse kicks in and she's transported to a universe in which she is 25 years old, unmarried, and her kid doesn't exist. The rest of the book has almost no plot.  It is hundreds of pages of self-loathing and self-pity.  If you are questioning your life choices and want a "what-if" book, read The Midnight Library instead.
