I came across this book as part of Multnomah County's Everybody Reads event and what a great choice! I often like books that involve a light dose of magical realism, historical fiction, existential angst, quantum entanglement, general moodyness, and people connecting across time and space soooo it was kind of up my alley. I felt like the end petered out a bit and sometimes things were a bit on the nose, but all in all really enjoyed!

I never have the words to properly review this book whenever I finish rereading it... but whenever I finish reading the last page I always sit there in silence reflecting and feeling a little bit lost for a good 20 minutes, so that's review enough
