I loved this book.

Matt Haig's writing style is both captivating and thought-provoking, and once again, he has completely shifted my perspective.

The concept of time is something that we all struggle with - we feel like we never have enough of it. Except for Tom. 

Tom Hazard, our protagonist, has a rare condition that causes him to age incredibly slowly, giving him more time than most. Living for over four centuries, we follow Tom as he struggles with everything beautiful, and painful about life - time, love, loss and grief.

Haig's writing is nothing short of beautiful, and I found myself completely immersed in Tom's story. This book resonated with me in so many ways, reminding me of the importance of spending our time wisely, cherishing the moments with the people we love, and truly living in the present.

Overall, I highly recommend this book. It's a beautiful and moving exploration of the human experience of time that will stay with you.
