It was a good enough book, a good enough story, with a good enough framework, but there was just something that didnt connect with me the way Id hoped it would. I wanted to find myself enraptured in the different ways a life can go and how small things make such big differences in the end, but ultimately I found myself disconnected from this idea. Perhaps its the endless restarts, but it became a bit hum-drum after awhile.

Ursula Todd is a fascinating character, but coincidentally I feel like I didnt get to know her very well (despite having experienced a plethora of her life/lives).
