Capsule is a really good book! A mixture of the movies Happy Death Day and Countdown. An app that will turn real life into a game and explore the past of the characters until the truth is revealed.
It's a book about forming friendships, about grieving and how that can either bond people for life or tear them apart. The game puts these three very different characters working together and going through some very hard times. It's interesting to see where these characters come from and their changes over time.
The ending is something I'm still torn by. I like it and also don't like it at all. There are still a lot of questions to be answered - enough for a sequel... maybe... *wink* - all ends well, but is not that simple. The game app is just like that, like a game, it's not real. And it means something that saddens me. It has a consequence that leaves a bittersweet feeling. Otherwise is a happy heartwarming story.
