3.0
3.5 obviously written by a book lover for a book lover. The vignettes were lovely. The subtle ways they twined together was soft. Beautiful writing. Never fully hooked and captivated me.

A book about a book that touched the lives of a variety of people. My favorite was Nola, a homeless teenager who lives in a shed on her school grounds. All the readers end up linked to each other one way or another which is pretty imaginative. A solid read overall.

While this wasn’t a page turner of a tale, I really enjoyed how it made you see the same story through so many different peoples perspectives. My favorite thing about the story was when parts of one story fell in place in an other. Perfect placement.

These were all distant short stories…this was not my favorite. Reminded me of The Overstory
