medium-paced

A short book about connectivity. It starts with the first plane flight when there is some turbulence causing two strangers to talk. The next chapter follows one of those characters and how that character touches another and so on, traveling around the world. If you like short stories, you will like this as each chapter is really its own short story. But it is not a novel that has a definitive ending. This book made me think about how we influence others and are connected without even realizing it. #sevendegreesofKevinBacon

Just ok. Cool concept but the chapters were too short for me to care about the characters and some were just confusing so idk I didn’t love it

I had pretty high expectations after really liking "All that man is". This was fine, but pretty insubstantial, and I thought the connecting device of plane journeys was borderline "cute".
