I was hoping for this to be a less religious version of Manifest, and it’s really not. it’s a thought experiment & includes more philosophical ramblings than the tension, mystery & action (+ plot twists & reveal at the end) I read thriller & science fiction books for. tbf though, the blurb implies that.

idk why apparently the author was aware that there are too many characters but still chose to keep it that way? I think having one main character (& more likeable characters in general) would’ve helped the story. nonetheless I enjoyed it & the concept is interesting, there were just too many parts and characters I didn’t care about

Un aereo Parigi-New York atterra in una giornata di giugno e viene dirottato a una base militare americana. Quell'aereo ha una particolarità: a bordo ci sono gli stessi passeggeri e lo stesso equipaggio di un altro aereo atterrato tre mesi prima.
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.

I went into this book only knowing that it was categorized as science fiction. 

Very interesting read. I can see how it's not for everyone, but I really enjoyed it. 

Really enjoyed the humour throughout the book and the pop culture references. 

there are a LOT of characters and the build up is very long but I think the payoff is worth it. I did not see what happened coming.
