pacifickat's review against another edition

emotional hopeful reflective sad slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

This book is exactly the sort of thing I would love: a series of loosely interconnected short stories that serve as vignettes of people's lives surroinding a central world-altering event. I will write a more thorough reveiw later, but for now suffice it to say that I loved this book, its style, its many distinct voices, and the audiobook narration was perfection.
