Gorgeous prose! A deep reflection on the human experience including our stories, free will and our interconnectedness. Definetly a bitter-sweet and emotional read. The only reasons that it didn't get 5 stars, was that the combination of a split perspective and a split timeline between chapters, became a little confusing in some parts. The ending also felt anticlimactic. Overall a new favourite.

The book was very detailed and the plot was interesting at the beginning/middle  but I found the book very boring to read because it was filled with so much that adds nothing (I guess that’s good in some ways).
