This book was fascinating. It gives us an insight how we can bear our life when you brought a premonition within yourself, It is like a virus, you have to search on your way being selfish to prolong your death date. The author, Chloe, has an interesting way to illustrate all of the four characters one by one, started from the youngest to the oldest. The design is looking from their age and gender, also the way of their mind interprets to their action. Chloe is also smart to separate the religion and philosophy, she tried to combines them that resulted “death is not death after all”, “Everything that lives must die”. We can imagine when Varya researched a medicine to make the monkey can live double from their age. Chloe made an impacted and conflicted in a debate when Varya and her mom said “We are kids, something fears hang on the thought, why you believed it too?”
Anyway, this a new way book and it’s wonderful of Jews Tradition. It’s not like any chapter book. So you have to try this new story design!

The concept and plot of this book is very intriguing. I like the idea of getting to know each separately but it was had to feel attachment to Daniel and Varya after spending so much time with Simon and Klara’s stories. For a story about death and how we deal with life and grief there was not much that resonated with me after I finished. This line did stick with me though: “thoughts have wings.” However, the book is well researched and touches on many hard and difficult topics.
Sex with a minor and stage dancing for men, all by Chapter 3... Yeah, this is a DNF for me.

I like the premise of this book. But somehow the characters are a bit one dimensional because of this premise. They don't live. Which is ironic.
The book is about death and grief. And its different for everyone. And none of this resonated with me except for the small paragraph about people dying and with that parts of yourself dying as well.
It is well researched though.
