I rated this like a 3.75, only because I know it’s one of those books that are better the second and third time away. There were so many little “life lessons” and reading it again with annotations is going to be so rewarding! 🙌🏽

I loved the adventure and mystery this book took on, and found the ending of the book really worthwhile. I think it did a good job with its message of following your heart, although it felt a bit preachy at times. Overall, was an enjoyable read.

Livro de leitura muito fácil e com mensagens importantes sobre a vida, os seus sinais, sobre sonhos e como eles se encontram onde menos podemos esperar.

"É justamente a possibilidade de realizar um sonho que torna a vida interessante."

"As decisões eram apenas o começo de alguma coisa."

"E como consigo adivinhar o futuro? Pelos sinais do presente. No presente é que está o segredo; se você prestar atenção ao presente, poderá melhorá-lo. E se você melhorar o presente, o que acontecerá depois também será melhor. Esqueça o futuro e viva cada dia de sua vida."

"Só uma coisa torna um sonho impossível: o medo de fracassar."
