4.5ish. Before you go into this book:
Do not expect a traditional plot structure
Do not expect characters that stick around
Do not expect things to be explained
If you require any of these, this may not be for you. I really like it because it felt like a collection of short stories. The descriptions of enrichment of life was beautiful. It was weird but good.
I don’t understand the ending but idk if that’s the point.

It was good. Much slower than the books I’ve been reading lately but it was a nice change of pace.

i think this book has so much potential but just fell a little flat, especially in the middle. this was such a character driven book that somehow made it feel like i didn’t know any of the characters that well. i still think the concept was really cool though.
It was good, but not memorable.
Felt quite surface-level and I didn't feel too connected to the characters. I guess that's what you get with a bit of a loner main character. But I couldn't tell you much about Aubry beyond her disease.
Similar vibes to Addie Larue and Midnight Library

I felt so peaceful reading this book, though I think it was a little too long. It's definitely more character-driven than plot-driven, made up of little vignettes of Aubry's life as she travels the world. To me, it gave me the sense of listening to the stories my great-grandmother would tell about her childhood, or the little anecdotes you hear from strangers about their lives: the sense that you're only getting a snippet of something you'll never get to know fully, but at the same time is so human and compelling. I really enjoyed most of the book, I think my attention just started to slip a bit around the time we got to Marta. The ending was satisfying to me: a good mixture of questions answered and unanswered, letting me puzzle over my own conclusions.
