For me it was the time when a particular place was reminding him of his holidays on seaside.

I wouldn't say this particular scene impacted me per se, but I would say it stuck with me as I found myself thinking about it over and over again. it was the scene before black line Gary killed Michelle as he sat in the darkness of his room, wallowing in the misery of his existence and wishing things could be different not knowing that he was about to experience a life changing experience. This really impacted me.

That would be the moment Gary was seeing himself stab the love if his life. It had such impact on me I zoned off to imagine his pain, hurting heart and the trauma that might cause him.

The most impactful part for me was Sinead’s struggle with her relationship with Gary. I, of course, have not dealt with this exact scenario, but her indecision reminded me of my own.

I have to say when black line Gary killed Michelle because I honestly didn’t see it coming. Plus it was the moment that really set things into motion going forward.

For me, the most impactful part of the book was not a particular scene but the book's interpretation and application of the multiverse theory. The possible existence of multiple realities that reflect every possibility is trippy. The idea of possible versions of myself, those around me, and everything around me is like an endless spiral of possibilities. It's an exciting concept to contemplate.

Gary's accident most impacted me. The multiverse concept was explained using various points of view of the accident. The accident was used to fledge out the various storylines. Gary's life was never quite the same after the accident.

For me it was after the murder of Michelle. I'm sure his mind was buzzing with the different choices he wished he must have made instead of allowing his emotions get a better part of him kept hurting and taunting him. That really touched me.

Indeed, the concept was just as impactful. I mean,there are an infinite version of me in an infinite number of universes. What if Adam's suggestion is true, what then? That means no one is exactly safe in every sense of the word.

I would say that part of the book really impacted me, greatly.

I can identify with Sinead's character. Indecisiveness is a common trait many people share. I mean at some point in our lives we may become stuck as a result of our indecision.

I'm not sure about impact but the most eye catching scene for me was when Gary from the black line leaves a message for the Gary from the Red Line to save the Gary from the blue line. The whole idea of Gary at risk of losing consciousness with raised heart rate was an interesting setup.

That Mary's dementia was written as possible sightlines into other word lines was very impactful. She was clearly frightened because she knew what she saw.

This might be my favorite topic for this one.

This book is my favorite one out of all the books I've read here so far, and that's because of that part that impacted me the most. It was the part where the judgment for Gary "killing her girlfriend" was decided. I was there thinking that everything would work out, after all the things they did and the breakthroughs they've done. But it doesn't. He still gets convicted.

I had to sit there for a while, just staring into space. It was a big punch in the gut to be reminded that the universe doesn't play fair. Sometimes you get the short end of the stick (since in another worldline, the other version of him was found not guilty).

Aah, this one was really dark. I remember thinking how messed up it was to hate someone so much that you'd want to murder them, even though it was just in your dream. It drastically changed the way I saw Gary, or at least that version of him on a different worldline. I'm not even sure if I'm satisfied with the things he did to try and correct it.

Hmm... I think this was only the tip of the iceberg. But if I wasn't a reader and was in his shoes... I wouldn't know what to do with myself. I'd probably lose my mind seeing myself murder the love of my life but not remember anything. Kudos to him for staying strong.
