Maybe closer to 4 stars. Beautifully written, short and easy to finish. I wouldn’t say this grabbed my attention and was “unputdownable” but I finished it in two sittings. For me, this story is, at its heart, a love story - not only romantic, but for the loves we have in our lives that at some stage we lose and must grieve, whether that be a person or a memory or an experience or, in the case of our protagonist, of an entire lifetime ahead of them they had imagined prior to their death. It’s a very human book and the ending was very sad. Beautiful, though at times it could feel confusing and I felt that some parts would require multiple reads for me to fully grasp their meaning.
