If, Then by Kate Hope Day
4.0
dark emotional mysterious reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

 - IF, THEN is another entry in the subgenre of literary sci-fi, which I am increasingly growing to love. Day's writing is spare, but quickly creates a looming sense of dread that keeps you turning the pages.
- There aren't a lot of answers in this book; it's mainly question after question. Not only the question of what is happening to these people, but that evergreen question of "what if?" What if we had made different choices? Would we be different? Would we be happier?
- It’s both thought provoking and heart pounding, a tough combination to pull off.
