I loved the premise of this book. It reminded me of the movie Sliding Doors, not that it’s anything like it but the idea of parallel universes and if you had made a different choice what your life may have looked like. I really loved this book. I love any kind of fantasy book dealing with parallel universes or things of that sort. Beautifully written and I enjoyed every minute of it.
