It's not often you can describe a book as fun but this one certainly is. A grown up version of the choose-your-own-ending books I loved as a kid, drawn with skill, humour and hundreds of endings. Reading the book you can experience hundreds of different lives, deaths and even afterlives - end up anywhere from heaven to hell to reincarnated as a huge tuna fish. The lives themselves are as vibrant as the endings awarded them; unlimited options allow you to do anything from become a Jamaican drug dealer to a multi-millionaire shoe designer.
Turn the pages long enough, experiencing more and more of the book, and you will begin to see common threads woven throughout the lives. I loved the real woman's voice throughout and felt that the author has a very good grasp on the way women think; why they make certain decisions; what they want for themselves. It comes through. Also enjoyed the way the book forced me to consider every moment in a life where one tiny decision matters the most.
