I read this book because the parallel reality/universe premise caught my attention. The beginning of the book was hard to get into, but at about the 40% mark I was curious enough to continue. I liked most of the characters and was intrigued by how different Etta's realities were.I had a TON of questions while reading this book, mostly about the traveling between realities... I just didn't get it (and still don't) and the whole concept of "changing the timeline" really confused me (it reminded me of the butterfly effect, which I never really got either). I also had lots of questions about Etta's life, the people in it, and the plot. I am happy to say that most of them were answered by the end.Several elements and curve balls were added at various points during the story, which seemed to distract me more than entice me and they didn't really push the plot forward.The most frustrating part of this book for me was the fact that it feels incomplete; I literally feel like I only read half of the book!  The ending is worse than a cliffhanger, it was more like "where is the rest of the story?!". And I easily predicted the "big surprise" that was revealed at the end the first time we met that character!Will I read the next installment of the story? Maybe...
