This book absolutely holds up to its beautiful cover. I am typically not a short story gal but this book won me over early and often. I loved how a secondary character from each story then became the main character for the next. It kept the pace steady without feeling like you had to reorient every few pages.
This would be the perfect vacation or airport read. The writing is beautiful but still easy to follow. You learn enough about each character to feel invested in their story yet enough is left unsaid the reader could imagine many scenarios as time unfolds. I never wanted the book to end.

I don’t normally read short stories but decided to give this book a try. Didn’t think I’d be able to get invested spending only a handful of pages with each character but actually really enjoyed it and did feel a lot more connected than I expected. And great to see how all of these overlapped lives come together.
Twelve chapters — each featuring a different person traveling to a different city. The character from one chapter faces something life changing, somehow connecting them to the character in the next chapter. How can a brief interaction of human emotion change you?
I was excited about the characters and how their stories would unfold. From the synopsis, it had great potential! Unfortunately, the chapters lacked the character developement I really craved. They were too short to really go anywhere and I was simply left wanting more from the book.

A slim collection of surprisingly hard-hitting interconnected stories. I love the author's frankness and efficiency with words.
