You remember those “choose your own adventure” books we loved as kids? Well, this is a grown-up version and every bit as fun as I remember! I thoroughly enjoyed reading through the different storylines, and while the different paths got increasingly more ridiculous and far-fetched (part of the fun in this context), it was also incredibly thought-provoking. As we journey along with Marsh and watch her transformation from meek and timid to courageous and confident, we also observe her growing more discontent and picky and how flippantly she discards paths/lives for every minor inconvenience, in pursuit of “perfect”. This novel delves into the questions about what different paths our lives could have taken if we’d made different choices along the way and what truly brings us contentment. Obviously, you have to suspend disbelief a bit about the science and moral aspects of the story, and I wasn’t fully satisfied with ANY of the endings, but it was an entertaining and nostalgic read that I highly recommend.
