What would you do if one day you woke one day to find out that every single adult in the world could know the length of their life? As you can imagine the world could easily fold to chaos. Wow. This book will stay with me. 

Eight people. All wake one day to a world who all have a small chest with a string inside showing how long they'll live. Governments, religions, families, jobs, friends, marriages, all changed overnight. Looking at everything differently. The value of life changing and being argued. 

The different perspectives, and human experiences. The way people's experiences were intertwined. I was gripped, and touched. This reflects SO WELL the world we live in. I'll be thinking of this book for a long time to come. Absolutely brilliant. 10/10 recommend.

This was easily one of the most interesting concepts I’ve read this year, and up there for most emotional wreckage inflicted

I really liked this story concept and it was done pretty well. The only issue I had with it that knocked it from being a higher rating is that the story has up to 8 different POV that I can remember to list of (not sure if that is the exact accurate amount) I enjoy multiple POV's however till I really got to know all the character and they started to cross a little bit, it caused me a little confusing at first and I was trying not to mix up peoples stories. Although I did enjoy almost all of the character POVs, if you have read it you probably know how I didn't like reading from lol. But other than the initial confusion I really enjoyed this book and though it was done really well and was a awesome concept (even if kinda terrifying in a way)

I really enjoyed this book. It's so realistic to how the world would actually react if something of this nature occurred (and you'll probably even find yourself drawing some similarities to our world since 2020). Also just a genuinely great story about life and human connection. Definitely recommend checking this one out.
