This book is a beautiful, painful, and haunting look at how souls are entertained and how we as people exist in the universe with ourselves and one another. The exploration of what happens to us when we keep big secrets is so poignant. My favorite line/reflection: “his gratitude is so wide and deep that it feels, instead, like shame.” I liked Shapiro’s use of shifting narrator’s and timelines to piece together their stories and of course, I cried.
