This novel was on my radar because I heard Regan of peruseproject talk about it in one of her videos on Youtube.

I was really excited to start reading this. I skimmed over some of the reviews and was immediately a little worried because there were some mixed feelings for it.

The story started out strong, was slow in the middle, and then got strong again at the end. I felt like the middle was slow because we were going through Harry's different lives, and not even in chronological order. I understand that it was vital in understand how the end occurred. In the moment of reading the middle, it was just very slow.

I absolutely loved the story though. It was such an interesting concept of life and death, what comes after. It has been something I have been thinking about a lot recently, which had me a little worried about reading it at first.
