emotional reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes

A reflective and thought provoking book, exploring how we see the world differently when death comes knocking. Some of the chapters were profound and insightful, while several chapters felt a little more vague and adrift. A sweet story nonetheless, exploring a life taken for granted and a good read for anyone who needs a gentle reminder that at the end of the day, the mundane is pretty extraordinary. 

bucci's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 17%

I didn't like the dialogues (word choice, dynamics etc...) and I also had the feeling it would be very predictable

I was disappointed. It was more sadly trite than sad. I wasnt looking for sad, but I wasnt looking for sappy either. There were a couple of well turned comic moments, but much too sappy. Syrupy.

probably just not my cup of tea tbh

its not horrible or anything, it actually slightly moved me at the end. BUT I don’t think i gained a single thing from reading this one. it felt like the main character was coming to the same conclusions that i had come to at like 10 years old. 

my edition legit had quotes highlighted separately from the main text, like in the middle of it, often its literally a line i had read on the previous page. it irks me sm. i blame the publisher
