"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.
