What would you do if you were told how you would die and at what age? This books explores that theme.
I loved this fast-paced, compulsory read. If you need a book yo get you out of a reading slump — this one is it! The mystery, tension, humor, characters, and pace kept me invested all the way through. It had a little bit of everything but mostly centered around death and grief (which are usually deterrents for me when it comes to books so me loving this one says a lot)!
If you have loved Moriarty’s books in the past you won’t be disappointed with this new one. I think those that enjoyed The Measure by Nikki Elrick will also like this one (this was done much better in my opinion with a similar-ish premise). The pacing and tension of the familial mystery also reminded me of Happiness Falls by Angie Kim which I also throughly flew through and enjoyed.
