•All the ideas that Haig plays with in this book regarding the multiverse is just a chefs kiss. I think my favorite has to be the idea that while you’re taking the place of yourself, you’re also not in a sense. While it is you you’re taking over it’s a completely different you with their own relationships and thoughts. So in reality you begin to lose your sense of self.

•Just so we’re on the same page here. You can 100% visit another life of yours, which may include a fairly dangerous job. Then if conditions are met, leave that life and version of you in a situation that could lead to their death? That’s honestly horrifying.

•While you can imagine making thousands of different choices in life, you can never fully picture the eventual outcome. I find that both comforting and depressing.

•I love the way Nora’s short visits into her parallel lives are presented! Using the idea of “walking into a room, but forgetting why” is a nice touch. Works so much better then just “yea they just forget everything”

“Happy moments can turn into pain, given time”

•Back to back dead cats, first Obsession now this. What are the odds?
