This was hard for me to read at first because I honestly didn't get the concept until halfway through the book. I'm not typically into magic or fantasy books, and the idea of doing your life over and over again until you got it right, while also not understanding that if you change one thing, you change everything, is just kinda lost on me. Of course if you change one thing, you change everything. But where the heck to the skeletons come in? Seriously, I get SYMBOLISM, but talk about heavy handed.
I also didn't root for Katie much, and I didn't care about which guy she ended up with, or whether or not she ever figured out that she needed to let go of her old life in order to get her new one. She was whiny, crazy, and actually super immature for her age, even though the author kept having her say otherwise. All and all it wasn't for me. Although the art was interesting.
At the same time, if you like Scott Pilgrim, read it. It is fast, and bright, and trying really hard to be multi-layered (while in my opinion, only partly/hardly succeeding).
