this is probably one of the most impactful and emotional books i have ever read, she writes this novel with such precision to detail you can tell how they feel without the direct words, you grow to know their actions and body languages that conveys so much more than the dialogue alone, leaves you feeling an incredible amount of empathy for these characters and their situations. i love the use of the multi perspective aspect she uses to write this book it shows how differently this sudden and life changing event affects the different age groups, based on where they were what they were doing and how they are all subtlety intertwined into each others stories unknowingly, it is a work of art to say the least and although it did take a minute to get into it once i was i couldn’t stop thinking about it. absolutely amazing!!!
