Matt Haig is one of my all time favourite authors so I couldn't wait to pick this one up.
Although I was a little worried about triggering content as the author's depiction of depression and suicide is pretty full-on, it was dealt with in a very sensitive and necessary way.
Now, when it comes to multiverse theory/time travel, this is a very difficult path to walk and while Matt Haig gives it a good go, there are still some pretty wide plot holes. I can't go too much into details without spoilers ...more

The grass isn't always greener and be careful what you wish for.
That combined with a hopeful (perhaps even happy) ending made this book shine for me. I really enjoyed reading it and am looking forward to talking about it with the library bookclub. ...more

From early childhood, Nora Seed liked learning and the possibilities books provided. Even as an adult, Nora’s favorite pieces still influence her actions to the point she explores many possibilities but not to their expected conclusions. When all of Nora’s active possibilities and life tethers end in one day, she’s depressed, feeling unnecessary until…

This was kind of an interesting concept. Being in-between life and death a person is able to choose a different life to live. The lives are based on choices not made. In this instance the room was a library with thousands of books that each led to another life. At any point when disappointment was felt or dissatisfaction you would return to pick another until your time runs out. One characters room was like a video store.
Not a bad concept but parts of it dragged a bit for me. Got this from Once ...more

Thought provoking
The beginning of this book was a little rough for me and I almost didn’t continue. I’m so glad that I did. It was very fun to see the potential lives. I don’t want to spoil it but I both loved the ending and also questioned it. One of my favorite aspects of the book was realizing that some of her regrets were not even based in reality, like that she thought she was a bad cat owner. This rang some bells for me. I am planning on recommending it to several people.

I bought this book ages ago, but couldn't get myself to start reading it. Even though I loved other books by Matt Haig. A few days ago I decided it was time to read this book. I really like the concept of this book. The different possibilities in life, all within one person. As a protagonist, Nora was a bit annoying, but I didn't mind too much. I just figured her dark side and moodiness was part of her depression. As an author, mr Haig did a great job.

What a waste of time. If only I DNF'd it when I first thought of doing so! I had hoped it would get better, alas it did not. The beginning was quite depressing and for the most part, although not quite as depressing, the book did not really improve any. The other books that I could have listened to instead In my book of regrets is reading this book!
