Reading this during/at the end of a pandemic that's referenced within the text was a bit jarring. However, I think this is an eerily beautiful story about time and how our actions can impact someone else's life in ways that aren't always obvious at first

Really enjoyable novel, short but drew me in. A few unanswered questions at the end but it mostly wrapped up nicely. Clean, one or two swear words, relationships (both hetero and gay featured) didn't have any graphic content. Very enjoyable listen.

This book is an interesting induction, at least for me, into literary science fiction. It is sweet and short, and I liked the coalescence of the timelines at the end. I would say I expect more world building from a science fiction book, however, that is not the point of this particular story. This book is a more quiet reflection on the expanse of one life, and how the actions of some impact the collective.
