Life After Life by Kate Atkinson
2.0

I liked the idea of the book and the way so many deaths come can be surprising, boring, soothing, flabbergasting and so on. It is what makes the book relatable, the what ifs in a life.

I was not happy with the ending or setting. It's almost like the author needed an exciting time in history to dig into and make the story more intersting than the average life. Still, she chooses to make most of Ursula's lifes a bit dull and average. For me, it felt like the WW setting was a cheap choice.
