Ci si trova davanti a un caso inedito: più di 200 persone si ritrovano a fare i conti con sé stessi di tre mesi prima, nel frattempo alcuni di loro hanno vissuto avventure differenti, mentre altri dovranno condividere persone e cose con il loro nuovo doppio.
Un libro scritto molto bene e con un finale inaspettato. Consigliato.

Furthermore, I ran into quite a few of my pet peeves, which didn’t contribute to my reading experience. The author, through his instrument of the storyteller, exudes an air of arrogance: women are described through a male gaze (even when Lucie meets herself), Nigeria and the US through a European gaze, and religion through an atheist gaze. There was no reason to not explore this more humbly. And on a less serious note: I just don’t enjoy writers writing about writing. It only works for me in very few instances, and this was definitely not one of those. It was made worse by the writer in this book having written a book called ‘the anomaly’ too, which kept popping up so often it became quite central to the story, even quoting from its imaginary pages as if it were the most brilliant thing ever written. Was this supposed to be clever, or funny? Similarly, was it supposed to be clever or funny to make a caricature out of a president that has hurt so many lives?
For me this story would have improved immensely by just sticking to the relational aspect through a limited number of characters. Now it was just an ok read.
