What a comeback. Let me tell you, about halfway through I did not have high hopes for this book. It began ominously as a fortune teller gave unwanted predictions (age and cause of death) to her fellow passengers on a flight to Sydney. Following these emotionally catastrophic predictions, the reader is provided two timelines: the fortune teller’s past and the passengers’ current lives, as some face death sooner than others. I kept wondering the significance of the fortune teller’s chapters, and to be honest, I started to get pissed off. Why would I care about her entire life story, including descriptions of the loves of her life and that she got food poisoning? She’s not the one dying! When the significance of her chapters came together after about 90%, I was shocked. Chapter 113 came (yes, you read that right) and I started to feel bad for getting so annoyed with the woman. The light bulb went off and I was kinda sad. The fact shone that you never know what a person is going through. 🥺 If you feel like giving up, I encourage you to keep reading. I am glad I did.
