Regardless, I liked it.

I doubt the authors intended to say “nothing in between young adulthood and old age matters” — instead, I think those are the times you most focus on “what life choices should I make?” or “what if I’d done something differently?”

Had nice underlying themes though and appreciated its sincerity. I wasn’t quite sure what to make of the fact that you see her 30 year old self and then her elderly self, as if there is no life in between that’s of any consequence – or that the decisions you make at that age keep you on a track of despair from which you cannot get off. Obviously I realize that adding in more selves would have made for a very confusing book, but I found that I couldn’t shrug off the implications.
