I WAS SO FASCINATED AND HOOKED this book was so good. Rare tiktok gem they were all right…. I’m actually obsessed this would be 5 stars if it didn’t get a bit confusing at times but oh wow!! “the day you are not a fire is the day the earth will fall still for me” I Looooove obsessive codependent relationships

this was so trite boring and unimaginative the characters weren’t particularly likable or genuine and it could’ve been written about any East Asian immigrant family. played into the American Dream stereotype in the most superficial way

“To be part of nature was to be part of the will to live. Remember how you felt after the polar bear. Remember how much you wanted life.”
decent book very good premise and okay execution + im not sure how i feel about the whole “live enough lives and suddenly she feels better” the character development was a little unconvincing

Vaguely fredrik backman-esque just by way of being Icelandic. Not super interesting and the question of the mother was too vaguely brushed aside for me to accept it but enjoyable nonetheless
