Sad, but magical.  The type of book where you already know how it ends, but still want to finish it.  I loved how much I cried.

"We are in the back of hundreds of people's photographs - moving, talking, blurring into the background of a picture two strangers have framed on their living room mantelpiece. And in that way, we live on too. But it isn't enough. It isn't enough to have been a particle in the great extant of existence. I want, we want, more. We want for people to know us, to know our story, to know who we are and who we will be. And after we're gone, to know who we were."

I can't believe this is Marianne Cronin's debut novel. The stories of Lenni and Margot are going to be forever emblazoned in my mind - they're filled with wit, hope, love, and heartbreak. I hope you pick up this book that - in my opinion - hasn't been talked about enough. Easily sitting pretty at the top of my favorites I've read this year. I can't wait until this author pens another beautiful story.

  • forced story, didn't feel organic 
  • bored until halfway until Margot's story started to take shape
  • Lenni's story is quite underfilled
  • pushing the connections between all the characters (like what was the purpose of the Temp & the man in the ER)
