This definitely felt a bit like a children's book but the characters were attaching and I definitely laughed/smiled a few times while listening to this audiobook....more

I read Eragon as an adult after hearing so many rave reviews but it personally didn't work for me so I wanted to give the author a second chance.
While I overall like the story, the writing didn't work for me and I couldn't finish the book. I put it down at 56%. First contact with aliens is one of my favorite premises but the book felt too long and the pace couldn't be sustained.

The main character is full of regrets after attempting suicide and ends up in a library where she gets to try all the other lives she could have lived.
This books was heartbreaking and unputdownable. My main regret is starting it late at night because I had to wait until the next day to finish it!
The writing was beautiful and hit almost too close for comfort. I can't recommend it enough!
(view spoiler)[The only portion that made me nervous was towards the end. I'm always wary of the "a husband and a child will fix this woman". Luckily, it wasn't the case! (hide spoiler)]...more

This book had a strong start and even though I did figure out "who did it" it was still pretty good.
I did feel like the main female character was the biggest weakness. She didn't ring true to me and I cringed multiple times (any description of Dane, the mansplaining bit, the telling all her secrets after knowing him for 24h which gave me flashbacks of Lock Every Door...).
Not as good as The Last Time I Lied but an enjoyable fall read!
