Taylor
I-I-I am speechless. I lost track of how many times my jaw dropped after 10 times. I agree with Cindy's and Katie's reviews. Tara's family in the book is trash.

I have a weird theory that Tara's parents are founders of the Essential Oil company called Young Living. I never use their products but I looked up their “About us” The owners are from Idaho.....so it's either a coincidence or it's them.

So, I googled more, and dang! They are Mormons.

I'm just sayin' hahaha It's most likely a coincidence but this book was a rollercoaster of emotions and it's a memoir.
4.75 Stars
I loved it and it was an easy read as I expected since I loved 7HoEH. I'm now a fan of TJR's writing. Took me about 3 hours to read. I can relate in some way. I often have “what ifs” thoughts and could've/should've paths I would take.
I'm on Team Henry if I have to pick either Henry or Ethan hahaha Also I never liked Mark since the beginning. My gut feeling was right.
“If there are an infinite number of universes, I don't know how I got so lucky as to end up in this one.
Maybe there are other lives for me out there, but I can't imagine being as happy in any of them as I am right now, today.
I have to think that while I may exist in other universes, none is as good as this.”
Just wow....wow. This book is a very bold and blunt read. It's not a conservative book but a chaotic one. If I consider the book Bunny as Chaotic neutral, this book would be Chaotic Evil. It was a roller coaster of emotions from many “WTF” moments to “side eye *blinks” moments. The author did not hold back and really wrote this book as realistic and has HBO vibes.
This book is not for the faint-hearted or innocent readers.
Trigger warnings: Drugs, psychotic, mental health, depression, Mental Health drugs 3-day blackouts, addiction, severe insomnia, parents dying, death, mention of 9/11, and eating disorder.
Reva has such a Cancer Zodiac energy. She was caring and loved the narrator. Also, the narrator does not have a name. At the same time, Reva had issues with body image and death in the family. Trevor sucks by the way.
This was a quick and easy read. Took me about 3 hours to finish it since it was a page-turner. If you want/need a book to feel something, this book is for you.
