This book was really inspirational for me, I often find myself thinking of the "what could have beens" if I had just done things differently. But the grass is always greener on the other side and really we just need to be the best version…

Independent of Haig's personal life, mental health, or life as Jason Statham's stunt double, as his first title I've read...I was "sprung" by his writing flow and imagination into such geekiness as broadly academic physics. At any age, the…

Started off slow and was a little unsure at first if I liked it or not, but decided in the end I liked it. It has some good lessons and overall was a positive story and relatable in many ways.

Definitely started off darker than I expected but a very interesting and relatable journey. Nora's struggle with depression, loss and dissatisfaction with what her life has become and the struggle to figure out what she really wants from…

Sorry, didn't mean for my comment to be a spoiler and as it is revealed in the very first sentence of the book I didn't think I was giving anything away!!

Interesting story concept / easy read, however a bit choppy in places. Would disagree that characters were 'well developed'... Chapters (lives) could have been expanded a bit more to appreciate the perspective (life/path chosen). Agree…

I am not a fan of this genre but I recommended it to a friend. You have the power to make choices over your life but regret is not something that gets you very far.

This was a pleasant surprise. Dont go into this book thinking it’s going to be fluffy and cute though, this was existential and slightly heavy at some points! I didn’t give it a full 5 stars because I felt that it didn’t get in to Nora’s…

Ok, let me first start by saying that I am a fan of Matt Haig.
I am not a fan of this book. I very much enjoyed the premise -- and I am hopeful that Heaven is a library 😇 There is something a bit too simplistic about this story,…
