I don’t even have words for this book. There is a movie, I Origins, that is all about this topic, and it completely changed my life and how I view death and the world and religion etc. when I realized where this book was going, I cried. And then I cried a lot more at the story itself and by the end I was a blubbering idiot and my husband was wondering why I was gasping out cuss words on the couch. This was so good, but I think it was really really good for me because of how it made me feel because of the things I think are real. I LOVED it. The authors acknowledgements page just made me love the book and them even more.

This was an incredible read. I have my suspicions on the inspiration of this but if I’m right, very well done. It would totally give away the twist so I won’t say it. I will say that I completely loved this take. If i wasn’t reading this on the go like i have been and had the chance to sit with it, I would’ve balled my eyes out numerous times. I love a good heartbreaking book. I think that makes me a masochist? But it’s fine….it’s not the creepy, fucked up kind of masochism. Anyhoo, great read. The pace was fluid and the foreshadowing was *chef’s kiss*. I knew what the big twist was gonna be but I didn’t know how it was gonna play out. I loved the blasé attitude of the main characters. The sarcasm was on point. Usually it doesn’t come across well but it did here. Overall, incredible concept and excellent execution.

Very slow burn and a bit crazy.  I liked the idea of reincarnation but it took so long to get there.  Not a super fan of the surprise twist.  

Sweet love story with a twist

Not as good as her other two books, but I hope that I would get some fabulous twist kept me reading.
