This book is good for perfectionist. You will realize something astonishing after reading it. As one of the perfectionist had difficulty in accepting my poor status, this book helped me thinking differently.

For those who want to rewind your life.

Sometimes you just need a simple but entertaining plot with a well narrated voice to have a good time and to help you just stop to think about life for a little bit.

Absolutely loved it, my heart is full. A must read, and I can't believe I have to write 15 words for a review.

Looooooove this for you

People write about the hype while I hadn’t heard anything about this book before. I stumbled across it by accident, started listening and couldn't stop. I liked both the story and the performance. Often, it was amazing how much the main character and I have in common.
While listening, I didn’t get though why in alternative lives, things had to be worse than in the real life (parents, brother, friend, cat). But at the end of the day, it is not the same concept as Mr.Nobody.

Engaging story

I don't believe the writing is phenomenal. It is fairly basic and superficial. For that reason, it reads quick and straight to the point.

The story on the other hand; touched me deeply. There were so many sentences and whole paragraphs that I highlighted. I related so much to Nora; her feelings and experiences.
This was the exact right book at the exact right time I needed to read.

I don’t normally listen to fiction, but this was simply beautiful. Deep, real, soft and with great narration.

Just wonderful

me gusta la idea inicial de las consecuencias de nuestras decisiones que cambian el rumbo de nuestra vida y la relación con los arrepentimientos, sin embargo después me pareció algo repetitivo. estuvo entretenido.
