⁣
In 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬, four siblings visit a psychic who tells them the exact dates of their deaths. The book is broken into four parts - one for each sibling - and is an unraveling of each character's story and fate.⁣
My husband and I both read this book, and he loved it much more than I did. I struggled to connect with a few of the characters. Whereas, he connected with them all. At his request, I'll be moving our copy of this book to his bookshelf.⁣
My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣
My husband's rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣

TW/CW: suicide, AIDS, gun violence, animal testing⁣

I didn’t love this book. I struggled with the character building because it felt like the author didn’t really know these characters or how they would actually live their lives. To me there were too many jumps in the plot to follow 4 separate people and 4 separate lives and have it feel complete. It was a cool story idea though it just wasn’t a book I wanted to keep picking up I just wanted to be done.
