Merged review:

Exceptional!!??

Reread 2021
My 8th grade brain imagined stuff wayy too differently from my current brain.

Now's the time to get up and get going. Life is happening whether you choose to make decisions or not. Not choosing is also a decision in itself. And all decisions have consequences.

The book is strongly recommended esp if you're in your 20s!

Am I missing something here? Have we all read the same book?
So many people related to Sybil which surprises me! She came across as a rather selfish person. It's not wrong for any one to work in self interest - after all THAT is survival instinct. But to the point of merely benefiting from others at ones convenience? Considering the elephant in the room was the death of Gilbert - and everything else was an aftermath or consequence of it- Sybil chooses to talk to THEODORE about it? Her neighbor who she never showed interest in?, Who she conveniently “likes” when she needs driving around and after she doesn't want to move to Texas ?? And the deal with her real family was rather rushed and it all sort of amounted to NOTHING. I understand that the pain of losing a child was at the centre of Sybil's life but it just did not make any sense to read about her pushing everyone away and then making amends one year before she dies. I did not like the character and nor the story.
