Good concept with a satisfying ending. I could forgive the darkness once I clocked the clever title. Thought-provoking at times but mainly nice just to have an easy read.
vou fingir que li tudo mas na verdade foram só 92%.
em nenhum momento eu liguei pra nenhum personagem (e são muito). existem alguns momentos que soam extremamente racistas e xenofóbicos. e a cereja do bolo foi a narradora do audiobook que fazia TODOS os sotaques do mundo todo, que pareciam mais uma zoação do que um sotaque em si. esse livro inteiro é feito de péssimas escolhas.
nunca julguem um livro pela capa, crianças.

I really liked the idea of this book and was super excited to read it. The book just fell really flat for me. Like the chapters could have been a bit longer and I didn’t really like any of the characters. I also found myself just not caring about anything that was going on. I could tell that the ending was supposed to have like a heartwarming sad moment but i felt nothing sadly.
Three stars because while i did not like any of the characters much, I give credit to the author for writing such developed characters in such short vingettes.

Ooh, I'm a bit conflicted about this one.
On one hand, I'm deeply curious about the lives of other people. It seems surreal that every stranger I see has a complete life of their own, with a subjective experience that's similar to mine but also completely different. And because of that, I loved that this book showed a 'slice of life' look at a wide variety of people, with a little string connecting them all together.
But on the other hand... a part of me couldn't help but wonder "Is that all?" when I closed the book. It's a very interesting idea, but nothing really wow'd me.
It's a quick read, however, and the writing style is easy to digest, even when the characters are dealing with more grim aspects of life such as illness, death, infidelity, etc. I don't think I'll remember this book for very long, but I enjoyed reading it quite a bit.
