What would life by like if you could go back, examine your regrets and then experience what life would have been like had you made a different choice at any moment in time? Like... what if you said yes when a guy asked you on a date. Or you agreed to tag along with your best friend on a trip to Australia? Or you pursued your father's dream to become an Olympic swimmer?
Nora Seed, at the point when she decides to end her life, finds herself in a library with the opportunity to experience all those lives that she didn't live. It gave her a choice to examine her regrets, the roads not taken.
I loved the concept of the book. It was a quick, fun, read. It was just okay. Sometimes the writing got a bit too philosophical for me. But it did prod me to think about my life's regrets. The discussion of the novel will probably be an interesting one.
