It was so hard to get through the beginning of this book..... But I'm so glad I stuck with it. It ended up being so full of hope. It was everything I didn't even know I needed right now! 10/10, would recommend!!! ...more

Nora Seed lived a life full of regrets. So many things she didn't do, and so many things she could have become, but just didn't follow through. When her beloved cat dies, her best friend isn't speaking to her and her brother is too upset with her to contact her she decides that

Im in love and inspired.
This is a perspective on how to love life, fight for ourselves and to archive our goals, nothing is impossible and sometimes things happen for a reason and we should trust your intuition and live.
This is a breath taking book showing us in so many ways tgat life is worth it and we should always chose live. This talks about suicide and depression regrets and various perspectives of life.

Imagine that you can chose another life to live would you grab that chance.... Will it
