“A sincere apology has the power to save a friendship, a marriage, even a life. Just say sorry. That’s all you need to do.”
“He’d noticed that when it came to women you should often do the exact opposite of what you intuitively thought you should do.”
“A parents love is surely strong enough to occasionally crash through the barrier dividing heaven and earth.”
“That’s what you say. You don’t say “we broke up” when a friendship ends. You don’t say “we are estranged” if it’s not a family member. You say “lost touch,” as if you carelessly misplaced your friend, as if it’s not one of your life’s greatest failures and regrets.”
“Everything has changed and nothing has changed at all. Leo is filled with equal parts terrible regret for the time they have lost and sweet relief for the time that will hopefully have again.”

This book surprised me. It is everything you can want out of a novel. Well written and crafted, interesting characters woven together with a shared experience, and a depth that you can indulge in or pass through. When passengers on an airplane are confronted with a woman that tells them how and at what age they will die, some become completely obsessed with the prediction. I really loved how the author tackled the truth that we all share - that we are all going to be faced with our last day on this earth - but rarely talk about and do everything in our power to avoid. Thoroughly enjoyed this book.
