I liked the story because I related to the protagonist. Not her “you don’t know you’re beautiful”, cinnamon-roll-fetish traits but her difficulty making decisions and choosing a life path.
The ingenuity behind the plot was also fun. Two dual narratives, two parallel universes based off one decision.

It wasn’t as well-written as Reid’s later works. In fact I will admit I was shocked by the writing discrepancy between this and Daisy Jones. She is a very tell-don’t-show writer, which hit well with the narrative framework in Daisy Jones. That style comes across as very toothy in this novel.

But I enjoyed it; a fun and light book to pick up in days like these.
