I think I can understand why this was nominated however I feel like he loses focus around a third of the way through although the message was very powerful and well said through the Regan quote. I think the quite should have prefaced the book rather than mentioned offhandedly in the last chapter. Overall a good read, very quick and easy :)
Idek what happened in this book i don't have enough attention span cells for this

co za ciekawa kompozycja! Poszczególne historie były niestety za krótkie aby poznać bohaterów i się zaangażować, jednak coś przyciągało mnie do poznawania ich dalej ✈️

3.5 stars.
This was a short and interesting book to read, mostly because of its format. It's a very short book of connected stories. There's no time or space for the reader to get attached to each character. But each story is very short but about intense/meaningful/relatable experiences in the characters' lives. Often painful. So the stories pull the reader in quickly and keep you feeling an emotional attachment to the situation more than the characters. Many of the stories have two main characters and then one travels on a plane to another story with another person and then there's another plane connecting one of those characters to the next story etc. Each chapter header is a airport code to another airport code to help guide the reader through the flow of connections. At its core, it's about how people are connected and slivers of our lives overlap and touch each other. Many of the stories have something sad at their core: abuse, infidelity, death, illness, etc. Most are not explored deeply since each story is short. Just enough for the reader to sympathize but not likely enough to empathize.

This was a very interesting concept--the tangential connections of people and how they effect each other--and I really enjoyed guessing who the next story would be about. Some were happy, some sad, but all made me think. I have already recommended this book to several people.
