This book is at its essence a whole bunch of people's seemingly unrelated, messy stories woven into one story. It points out that people are much more connected than they realise, a beautiful thing about life on earth: we tend to run into everyone else every so often. Many of the stories were heartbreaking, and left my mind full of the sweet, poignant rhythm that is life. It was very interesting to read a book that doesn't stick to one perspective, but leaps all over the place from first-person, to third-person, to a chapter entirely composed of digital slides. This book is extremely relatable and all the characters are very real- I would recommend it to any person who is alive.
