not bad.

The premise of this book was good and interesting. However, the execution of the plot was lacking. It was a decent book and I have nothing particularly bad to say about it except for that I don’t think it necessitated the page length. Maybe it is because I’ve recently read a few books about mortality, but this book didn’t really stand out for me. Some people love it though. It just wasn’t for me. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it to a friend.

This was very interesting, it kept me intrigued until the very end. 

I really liked how certain characters, like Leo's mum, knew cherry, or Paula's friend was the daughter of cherry's best friend. I also really felt the emotions of cherry and her loses and I found the whole prediction to actuary plot line was compelling and quite logical!
