"Remember
When we were young enough
Not to fear tomorrow
Or mourn yesterday
And we were just
Us
And time was just
Now
And we were in
Life
Not rising through
Like arms in a sleeve
Because we had time
We had time to breathe. "
The book had a fascinating premise, started out slow and boring, picked up in the middle, from the portion about being a glacierist. The ending could be better in my opinion. Most of the story was quite exhausting, I felt exactly like the character tired and frustrated; wished for Nora to find her perfect book soon. What this book really taught me was to have less regrets and act as a heroine of my own story. To grab opportunities in life without hesitating cuz there are so many ways the story of your life can go.
