I got halfway through and had no idea what I’d read. I couldn’t tell you what this book is about. I couldn’t finish it.

The thought of an old man that goes out every day to not die on a day that no one saw him. I find that thought extraordinary beautiful. One of my favourite stories ever. Hauntingly real.

One of the best contemporary novels I've read. Great characters and wonderful story. Can't recommend it enough.

Know that this was Jonathan Safran Foer's wife, I could only expect an amazing story. There writing styles are so similar, I feel like it should be there own genre. Although I am not usually a fan of love stories this one found a place in my heart.
