I think the concept of the book is good, but it didn’t really go anywhere. I think maybe for those who have experienced mental health struggles it’s probably a great and meaningful read. Just not for me.

This book is life changing in so many ways. It’s definitely a must read. I can see possible reasons why some people might not like it as much as I do. But as for me someone who has thought about my past and things I wish I could of done or change. I definitely could relate to Nora in this book. I hope eventually they will come up with a good movie soon.
Great read

This book had me in tears at the end. Very touching with a great message. Makes you look at life differently. There is never a perfect life but it is what you make it. 10/10 would recommend.

I honestly didn’t know what to expect when I first read the book premise. The first chapter had me not sure if I wanted to complete the book as it was very depressing and all hope was lost. But as I got deeper and deeper into the book I really loved the lessons and discussions about “it’s not what you look at, it’s what you see” and how that really hit home. For those who say this book was bad, I don’t think they were open enough to grasp the meaning or the lesson. Our lives are what we make them and just because we aren’t where we thought we would be or where we wanted to be, doesn’t mean we will never get there. It doesn’t mean we are stuck. Everyone needs to read this book wither you suffer from depression or anxiety or not. Everyone is struggling with something wither you are being honest with yourself or not. Really looking forward to reading more from this author
Creative and Engaging

I loved the idea behind this story. I loved the character development and fresh ideas. It was definitely a story of redemption and forgiveness but mostly the forgiveness of one's self.

My Book Club chose this for the monthly read. There was so much potential in this storyline, but it missed the mark. It was very redundant and barely held my attention. I found myself wanting to just close the book and not finish, but I’m no quitter. I trudged on, skipping pages that were the same ole same ole and celebrated when I finally finished! Perhaps my expectations were too high? If you deciding between 2 book choices, skip this one.
Just what I was looking for

I’ve had this book on my reading list for a while and finally decided to grab it. I think it’s a pretty easy read, I went through it in less than a day. I just feel like there was so much more potential with the storyline. It was just a good book, I wouldn’t really say it was great.
3.5/5

This book was ok. Nothing super special about the book. It taught a good lesson but I feel like the book could be a little bit more entertaining though. I give it a 3.5 outta 5.
Fantastic Read!

I LOVED this book! It is a beautiful story about how the road not taken might not be better than the road you are on. "It's not what you look at; it's what you see." Highly recommended!
Buy it!

Honestly loved it! I was hesitant to get it at first since there were some mixed reviews. But overall a wonderful book, with a great lesson on regretting life decisions and the infinite options that could have been chosen and their results.
