4.0

Centred around Philip - a somewhat typical man who is caught up in a standard and comfortable life of working, going out with friends and being a Dad & husband. Each chapter is a little snippet into his life whereby he's caught up in the chaos whilst feeling constantly disconnected. As the chapters go on, he seems to open his eyes more to little moments. There's a revelation that tiny pockets of simple pleasures are what life is all about. A subtly empowering read that felt realistic, relatable and true.
