I think this book looks at trauma in a very unique way. It explores what happens after a traumatic event and the ripple effect it creates, touching the lives of so many (all in different ways). I also enjoyed the commentary on what truly makes a life—the small moments, our decisions, experiences, and relationships. It really captures the human experience.

There were a couple things that didn’t work for me. First, I LOVE short chapters—they make feel successful and keep me turning the pages. However, these chapters felt TOO short. Sometimes I struggled to orient myself in what was happening, and by the time I’d figure it out, the chapter was over and we were jumping to a different character/location. Because of this, I found it especially hard to follow on audio, and I definitely preferred reading it in print. I also felt the pacing was a little off in the middle. The beginning and ending were fantastic, but the middle dragged for me.

While this might not be the best book I read all year, there were so many things I loved about it. This is a perfect book to get lost in while sitting by the fire during the fall and winter months!
