Although the characters are rather cliché, this was just the comfy chick-lit book I needed right now!

I loved this book, the ideas about creating a community, learning to be authentic and seeing it in others. Such a lovely story.

I thought the premise was cute but the writing often left me lurching...lines were abruptly dropped in ways that made me think I had missed something, and the inter character dialogue wasn't great.

3.5 stars. I feel like this book should have had a higher rating. The characters are realistic and dimensional, the concept was interesting, the conflicts weren't overly dramatic and there wasn't anything problematic. It should have been 4-5 stars. And yet, I found it difficult to get through the last half of this book. It really started to drag out more and I wasn't looking forward to reading it after some time, only finishing it. I appreciated an unexpected and more realistic turn of events in one of the relationships, but I didn't feel like I saw enough chemistry between the two characters for it to make sense. It felt like the author was rushing with that one at the end.

A lonely artist creates a journal where he poses the question of whether we are our true authentic selves. He writes and leaves the book behind at a cafe for someone else to find, share their story, and pass on the book. Six individuals contribute to the pages and find their lives intertwined, helping to alleviate the loneliness each of them felt at the start.
