I hope you enjoy reading it. Thanks.

I wasn’t a big fan of Black Line Gary. Although it wasn’t his intention for things to end up the way they did, I felt like he could have been more remorseful of his actions. He came across as being more self-centered and selfish. He didn’t seem concerned about his future. I felt like he was too comfortable living without any ambitions. Plus, I felt like he could have been more compassionate towards Sinead.
I so much agree with your view here. I really didnt like this version of gary. He seemed like a total different person in that world

An amazing sci-fi book that shows how Gary is trying to cope with been charged for murder and finding out there are alternate realities, nice. Interesting review

I completely agree. The author has written the story very well. It could have been frustrating to read this story otherwise.

I just finished it and I totally agree, Black line Gary was a bit annoying for me too, Sinead deserved better. But I really loved this story.

Genuinely did not like the book as to me it really confused me coming and going into 3-4 life style theory that the book came into, I saw Gary as self absorbed into his own thoughts or actions he took upon himself in dream and real life. Sympathy for Michelle no empathy for Gary, Sinead got the brunt of her boyfriend Marcus then had to deal with a break up plus a now dead friend of hers which was Michelle then dealing with Gary but still being there for him even though Michelle's family was nice to him they still needed time to recover from his harmful gruesome acts towards his used to be girlfriend. 2 out of 4 stars there and unfortunately I wish the book didn't go back and forth alot.
