This one will have you thinking back to it for many months after in predicting! One of those twisty tales where everyone has some connection and it is all sort of brilliantly woven together. Easy to read but definitely requires your attention. A story about many stories but mostly about humans and all our rights and wrongs and the reasons behind them. Loved it!

This book left me in awe. I don’t think I’ve ever read a story told this way. It’s like the author give you the pitch at the beginning, then you spend the rest of the book zooming in slowly. I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy the characters because most of them were pretty insufferable at first, but I think the point of the book was to show that everyone has a story and motivations for why they  are the way they are. There are similar themes in A Man Called Ove.  I ended up loving all the characters, and this book became my favorite book of the year.
