 I wasn't really quite sure what to expect out of this book, but by the end of it I was in love with it anyway. I really enjoyed the themes of life being what you make it, not taking anything or anyone for granted, and not simply resigning yourself to what you think is inevitable. This was a bit different than the other books I've read by this author, but in a really good way and I would definitely recommend this book for anyone looking for something they can just slow down, sit and enjoy for the sake of i

Took me a while to get into this one. Too many parallel story lines. When I finally did, I wanted to finish it all at once.

I was surprised to read in here about the Korean adoptees. It was recently news to me, a scandal I thought was broken by PBS and AP, but apparently, this was better and sooner known in Australia.

The main character feels like what I’m headed toward - I have longevity in my family. I expect to see a lot more than I want in my lifetime. Perhaps that’s why her story resonated with me so much.

Rating: 4.5/5 stars

A woman predicts the age and cause of death for everyone on board a flight from Hobart to Sydney…and then her predictions begin to come true.

I’ll be honest—as much as I found it fascinating, this is a premise that absolutely terrifies me (I can’t think of anything worse than knowing when/how I will die), so I was definitely a bit hesitant to dive in (and probably would not have read it if it wasn’t my book club’s September pick). That said, this is a very well-written book with extremely well-defined characters, and overall I really enjoyed it.

I listened to this one on audio and thought the narration was fantastic throughout, and the short chapters and changing perspectives really helped me stay invested and engaged with the story. I don’t think this is necessarily a thriller and probably shouldn’t be marketed that way…but it’s a super interesting contemporary fiction novel that I ended up thoroughly enjoying despite my hesitance!

CW: Death/grief; terminal illness; mental illness; suicide; mentions of domestic abuse; mentions of infertility
