SYNOPSIS
  • All over the world,  every person over the age of 22 receives a wooden box with a mysterious string inside. The length of the string = how long you’ll live.
  • We follow eight people, and how the strings impact them.

MY THOUGHTS
  • Excellent premise, but not a fan of the execution.
  • The writing felt very basic to me, and I was annoyed how the characters kept popping up across stories & having some random connection.
  • Very plot driven & no real character developments
  • I didn’t care for any of the characters.
  • Ending is mehhh.

TL;DR: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent plot, but not a fan of the execution. Read this one instead: Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty.

The book talks about what makes a life worth living, the level of pain you are willing to endure for the sake of yourself and others. It discusses discrimination, change and solidarity in light of the new information that the mysterious strings that showed up on everyone's doorstep brought up.

I enjoyed every charachter and storyline. They showed the individual struggles but also had a connection to the bigger picture.

Julia Whelan is a great audio book narrator!
