Gorgeous prose! A deep reflection on the human experience including our stories, free will and our interconnectedness. Definetly a bitter-sweet and emotional read. The only reasons that it didn't get 5 stars, was that the combination of a split perspective and a split timeline between chapters, became a little confusing in some parts. The ending also felt anticlimactic and left a lot to be desired. Overall a new favourite.
