LOVED this book. the writing style made it quick and easy to read, def pulled me in. I loved the idea of the book. All the characters were interesting and I loved seeing how their lives connected. I’ve always been so fascinated, enamored even, with the thought of the simultaneity of individuals lives and that we rarely know what anyone else is doing at a given time but us and the people we’re around and even then we have no idea what’s going on in their head and i just really really loved this chapter bc everyone’s life is so meaningful even the strangers we see at the bus stop are out there living or maybe they’re not living and we’ll never know that either and wow what a book!

I especially loved the sister’s chapter because it was such an accurate and beautiful portrayal of grief.
