Do you ever imagine what other lives you might have led if you or your parents had made different choices? 4 3 2 1 tells the story of Archie Ferguson in 4 different ways. Always Archie is a Jewish-American boy raised in the New York/New Jersey area. In each iteration his life begins the same, but they quickly diverge. I found this novel enthralling. It was a little hard to follow the different Archies at times and keep their different storylines straight. It took me a long time to get through this behemoth. I got side-tracked by my youth lit project. I wouldn't recommend reading it in the fits and starts that I devoted to it, but it was worth it. I especially liked how many of the characters made appearances in the different lives. One of my favorites of 2017.
