So actually, for example with Ash and her family and the coffee date, if she had made the different decision back in the day to get coffee with him and actually had that life (the full experience) she may be happy because what’s making her unhappy is the feeling like she doesn’t belong. Idk

The main thing I don’t like about this book: the message is that if you are unhappy, you would likely be unhappy in any life you are living, regardless of the decisions you make, so to not dwell on your regrets. However, in some of Nora’s lives, she only feels unhappy in that life (or atleast this is what the book says) because she feels like an imposter and that it’s not her own life. Continued

There are a lot of plot holes in this book. First, i felt like it didn’t really explain why she is there but someone who dies in say a car accident isn’t. Is it just people who try to kill themselves but deep down don’t actually want to?

Good
