I've always believed, like all rational people, that my selves are separate. That they- we- exist independently. But sometimes when life is too still, when I lie in bed in the quiet, I can feel it all happening.

• worldbuilding was amazingly immersive and confronted issues of poverty, segregation, etc. with a full-on approach as well as going about the multiverse in a way that could be understood without much difficulty
• the characters were super diverse and had a lot of depth, with an exploration of ethics and an examination of their values across different worlds and different situations
• the plot twists were awesome, the plot itself with good pacing
• the main romance as well as other character interactions were brilliant (even if i feel like the big misunderstanding between the main romance couple was a bit silly)
• the author covered some very heavy subjects with a lot of care but also the honesty that such trauma encompasses
• for once i could feel positively about the existentialism in a novel
• slightly ambiguous ending was perfect for the type of book this is
