Most emotional book I've read but so so beautiful and inspiring, it actually made me look at life in a way I never really did before.

Whoof 

What a beautiful and hard read. The threads weaving in and out of each other, missing, until they collide.

Exactly what you'd expect from a book with this title. In addition to the focus on the two main characters and the relationship they foster, I thought it was an elegant touch to interweave several additional character stories into the larger picture - showing just how accidentally connected we really are.

As far as the two main characters, Mateo and Rufus; I did find Mateo to be particularly frustrating the first half of the book, but that just lent to the charm of him as the story progressed. I would have liked to see a larger focus on Rufus and his growth, personally. It felt like the book was split 75/25 between Mateo's issues and Rufus'.

Spoiler

The short story "The Father Does Not Die at the End" included in the collector's edition was so heartbreaking... and absolutely tied the story off in a perfect way. I would not have considered the story complete without it.

This hurt in all the right ways. Definitely a book for you if you’re looking ti read about a deep connection that is honestly so rare. But it’s out there, even in the most unlikely of places, which is also something the book touches on. So well written and heartaching.
