I can't stress how amazing this book is. It made me feel like I was the main character, examining my regrets and life choices. I also appreciated the dabbling in philosophy and physics.

Others can tell you what this book is about. I'd like to tell you—and the author if I knew him—what this book meant to me. We all have those deriding thoughts... Are we living our best life? Why are we comparing ourselves to others? Though this book claims to be fiction, and it is, it could in fact be very true. For we don't really know what happens when we stop living. And I don't necessarily mean when we die.

This book clicked with me on so many levels, explaining logical and illogical reasons why events happen the way they do. And what it means to each of us personally. Most of all, it gives us the strength and faith to believe in that self that is just ordinary, boring, but indescribably unique. Our true, plain self.

It's so worth the read. Beware. If you pick it up, you may not move for a while. Set aside some time for yourself and this book to get to know each other. You'll be so glad you did. I'd give it six stars if I could.
