At first I thought I had guessed the twist that was coming near the beginning of the book. And as I continued to read it was so playing into it then at the end the author takes a shovel and says nope just kidding!! I was thoroughly entertained by this book and cannot wait to read more from this author
Good and insightful
I originally never intended on reading this. As with most my reads I try to stay away from those overly hyped everywhere. But after reading the synopsis I thought what they hay. I am sooooo glad I did. The writing touched a heavy topic of regret and what if, but the authors way of playful and witty words helped smooth those sharp edges. The insight within this book had me highlighting quote after quote because it resonates with the reader.
I borrowed this book as a way to force myself to read something different. I am so glad I did. The journey of not seeing clearly to the redemption each character is searching for, makes this book a page turner. The writing is almost as if you were there, the feelings of joy, sadness, anger, guilt all can be felt. It takes you on a journey you can't forget.
Boring and lacking continuity
I wanted badly to like this book. It had good parts but the unnecessary foot notes broke up the parts that would keep you engaged. It jumps from her first hand diary to her family background giving the reader a feeling of some one moving from a good story to a history lesson.

Interesting
The book held my attention making me have to finish it the same day. The dynamic between the main characters where a whirlwind. The only thing that got me is waiting for the twist other reviews mentioned. From the character progression you can tell how it would end up. The best part is the mirroring of the beginning and end. You start to see that just one difference can change a persons outlook and direction of life. Overall this was enjoyable and I would love to see how the author grows in his writing!
