I had an incredibly hard time with this book. It was an imaginative premise and wonderfully written. It is a beautiful book worth reading and discussing. It draws so many parallels and gives a less fraught and personal avenue for people to discuss how humans treat each other. 

Where I personally struggled was with how well the author connected the premise to what might actually play out in real life. Basically horrible humans being horrible humans and how quickly people would turn on each other. This book was exhausting. While I recommend reading it, I also recommend taking whatever time and space you need to read it. There is hope in the book. There is just lots of discrimination and pain as well.

What would you do if one day you woke one day to find out that every single adult in the world could know the length of their life? As you can imagine the world could easily fold to chaos. Wow. This book will stay with me. 

Eight people. All wake one day to a world who all have a small chest with a string inside showing how long they'll live. Governments, religions, families, jobs, friends, marriages, all changed overnight. Looking at everything differently. The value of life changing and being argued. 

The different perspectives, and human experiences. The way people's experiences were intertwined. I was gripped, and touched. This reflects SO WELL the world we live in. I'll be thinking of this book for a long time to come. Absolutely brilliant. 10/10 recommend.
