What if every time you made a choice
in your life, no matter how big or small, you created a new universe? There’s a
universe where you decided to say yes to the stranger who invited you for
coffee, and one where you said no. There’s one where you decided to stick with
your piano lessons instead of dropping them the minute you could. There’s one
where you decided to stay at the party for just one more glass of wine,
overslept the next morning, and missed your train… so you weren’t at work when
your former coworker showed up with a gun. One where you chose kindness, one
where you chose fame, one where you chose safety. And infinite variations of each of these.
What if, as your life was ending, you found yourself in a vast library where one thick volume contained every regret you'd ever experienced, big or small? And every other book—an infinity of books—represented an alternate life that you might have lived, if you'd made different choices? What if you got to try out each one of those lives, find out how things might have ended differently if every choice you'd ever regretted could be unmade? What if you could do it all over again… and again… and again, until you got it right?
Nora Seed finds herself in exactly
that situation, after taking the pills that will end her life. She has so many
regrets—a band she didn’t stick with, a dead-end job where she's just phoning it in, a
brother who won’t talk to her. And now she’s got a chance to see what life she *should*
have lived—and a chance to live it. All the chances she needs, to figure out what's actually important to her and what difference that knowledge might have made.
4.5 out of 5 stars—highly recommend.
