I liked the idea of this book - the past and future selves of a young woman meeting all at once. It is an interesting idea for a memoir. However, the deeper parts of the book weren't developed too well. I hardly knew who Lily was, then suddenly she was very important. However, I gave it a three because of the cleverness of the story and the fact that I liked the characters.
Kim's writing really shines here. In a few deft and spare scenes, he takes Grace (and her other selves) on a journey through which she is forced to confront and overcome her fears and flaws -- and not always with happy outcomes. Plotwise, the book is dense, with plenty happening. The reader is involved in events at just the right level — they’re not spelled out simply, but everything’s there if paying attention.
