This is a book about love, loss, and restarting. It explores what it means to play this horribly difficult and unpredictable game of life. Zevin plays with temporality and breaks reality to convey a raw understanding of the world and who we are as characters, players, and creatives.The perspective moved backwards and forwards in time, flowing from one character into the next. Dive inside the narrative or find yourself in the middle of an interview or a game created by Sadie and Sam. This novel is beautiful and each time I think of certain moments I just start tearing up. The story of Sadie and Sam, and all the characters and places Zevin introduces us to, will haunt me forever.
