I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would.
Imagine just going on about your day and then all of a sudden you receive a box with a string that determines your life span, would you look in the box??? š¤
I liked that this was a unique concept and I loved the way it was executed. I feel like it was written in a way that actually makes you think.
It shows how people in higher power like to instill fear in people to get their way.
Then there is this whole thing with the long stringers vs. the short stringers. The long stringers feeling like the short stringers are all dangerous based on a selected few really just pissed me off.
This book also goes on the list of books that managed to make me cry which is not an easy task. The ending was so bittersweetš¢
Definitely recommend!!!
