Творцы совпадений
by Yoav Blum, Йоав Блум
“Perhaps when you helped someone to achieve happiness that you yourself would no longer experience, you also gained a small piece of that happiness.” -Yoav Blum, The Coincidence Makers
The Coincidence Makers is a unique story written by Yoav Blum. The readers are introduced to what looks like a college course informational sheet about setting up coincidences. There is a secret agency that is set up to determine someone’s future. Bring in, Guy, Eric and Emily, level 2 coincidence makers. They set numerous coincidences like bringing two people together in a relationship, or make an accountant realize that they were truly meant to be a poet. The general public is not aware of this agency and sees these moments as fate or destiny, however, because of Guy, Emily, and Eric, it is not fate. However, how does this life affect a coincidence maker? What happens to free will and true love?
I love the premise of this novel. The plot immediately intrigued me to the point where I did not want to put the book down. This book has a very intricate storyline filled with mystery and sudden twists. I really appreciate what the author wanted to convey in this story. There is this moment in the book when one of the characters puts reality and fate into perspective by saying that there are 8 billion people all making decisions at every moment that could affect another person, which affects another, and another and so on. That moment truly stood out to me while reading the book. Even the tiniest decision can alter the course of someone’s life.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t love the whole book. I felt I never really got to know the characters. They seem very one-dimensional. I felt he could have really taken this plot to the next level by making unforgettable characters. I wanted to be able to put this book down and just be in awe. However, that did not happen. Like I said, the premise was great but the execution left something to be desired. For this, I rate this book 3 out of 5 stars.
However, I truly encourage people to check this book out because there are many moments and quotes in the book that really make a person think!
