This is one of those books that I wished I read slower. Ruth Ozeki’s writing is so wise and compassionate. It makes me think about the big picture, about how my story fits into the world and the role that books have. I was slightly more invested in Benny’s story than Annabelle’s and I don’t think they fit together as well as I would have expected, but they are both meaningful on their own.
