Love stories like this, interconnected short story style. It's been a long time since I've read a book that's hooked me so thoroughly at the beginning. The themes of loss and love were like a wool blanket wrapping around each character. The author would give you the pieces to draw your own conclusion, and I like that she trusted her readers to pick up the rest of the puzzle and arrange it as you saw  it. I will definitely be reading more of Bauermeister !!

I loved the concept of this book and how some of the characters' stories intertwined over the years. The writing was just a little too literary for me to be fully immersed. I found myself skimming at times.

A book for book lovers. I’ve often said that just because a book works for me, it doesn’t mean it will for you. What a great way to express this truth - through a book. Great writing - clear, direct, descriptive to the point where I could see each person and situation. And I could understand why Alice’s book affected them the way it did. While Alice’s book isn’t told in its entirety, there was just enough of it revealed throughout the book, that it began to become a real book that I wanted to really read.

I’m so glad I found this book.

Ohhh how I loved this!
"No Two Persons" have ever read the same book.
This is a book about books, written as short stories with a central theme. I loved each of them; seeing how they all intermingled and took something different away from Theo.

Audio was perfect! Each character voice leant something new to the overarching story. I especially loved the chapter with the actor turned audiobook narrator ;)
