Thought provoking story of what it means to live life. Definitely adventurous, a tad bit spooky, an overall super interesting read. At first I wasn’t a big fan of the ending but later reflected that the story was about the contents throughout the journey and not just about the ending. Many parallels to the Covid-19 pandemic that continues to push us to think of how we want our lives to be and what we choose to cherish.
