I don't even know how to rate this book. I loved the beginning and loved the end. Both made me cry. The middle was much less moving, and it was so hard for me to feel invested in those alternate lives. I think that my issue was a lack of connection to Nora as a character, I didn't feel I knew enough about her base life to care about the alternate versions–even if the realizations were moving. I think I would have liked this more as a shorter story / novella with more detail about the base Nora and less detail in each individual book life.
