- The best part for me here is the bit about the cat: it's a great explanation of the concept of "Choosing your own truths"
- Hated the chess analogy where if you only have one pawn and a king, against a player with every piece still with him, there's still a way to win. No, honey. No.
- Got tired of all the metaphors.
- This made me realize Philosophy books are maybe worthwhile to read because I definitely disliked reading their ideas secondhand through these types of books.
- It felt like Nora's characters/backstory was all over the place. Like she was created because of how the plot goes, and not the other way around if that makes sense. It's as if it's too convenient for Nora to be a musician, Philosophy graduate, swimmer, into glaciers, and loves playing chess.
