I expected world hopping and glimpses of what could have been, but this book was so much more than that! Cara is constantly reflecting on the divide between utopic Wiley City and dystopic Ashtown because she walks between them and all the other earths. I felt that we learned about Cara at just the right pace. And I love some good women yearning for women. I find it hard to break down just why I loved this book, but man it just worked for me. Maybe the ending was a little rushed, but I loved the journey there enough to accept it.
