I turn to the excellent audiobook to get me through hard days.
I just... I keep coming back to this book because it keeps meaning more and new and different things to me at different times in my life. I know it's a young adult book, but I'm 37, and was born with a disability. As a kid I would have given anything to have A's blessing/curse. The story of A's life reminds me of the many different facets of human existence, and helps me feel less alone.

This is essentially a big What If? SF novel, where the whole of the action is about exploring the ramifications of the central conceit. It's pretty okay. I cared about the characters, and I felt that the emotional heft was truthful and well-earned. The style was fairly flat. Nothing wrong with it, but not deathless prose for the ages.
