I understood absolutely nothing. 
I think I got very lost after the first couple of "chapters" - or rather parts of this book. 

Who is who? 
Where are we now?
Whats happening?
Wait what?

Yeah. It was good, I just didnt get any of it.

I loved this book so much, it could have been so disjointed but it fit together so well and was a really satisfying read. I definitely want to read again in physical form so I can flip back and forth and put the pieces together a bit better and make notes.

this book starts off as a relatively easy, simple read. it's easy to get absorbed and follow the flow of the stories. i loved being with all these different characters in their cold, little towns.

but as the stories go on, things get harder, darker, and more and more intertwined. before i finished the last story, the book sat at a 3.25 for me. the stories were great, but not all were particularly moving.

the final story however, truly broke my heart, and wrapped up all the ways these characters were serendipitously related in such a moving way.

it was a beautiful read, and I'm glad i stuck through to the end.
