I picked this up because of the beautiful cover at my library, and never expected this short story to make me cry multiple times in such a short period. Some musings seemed fairly random, but at its heart it’s a story of people trying to live through the hardships that life gives them.

Very sad and mournful. Didn’t really land with me. I thought the concept was intriguing but the storyline didn’t connect.
