An immigrant child. A wounded veteran. A recent divorcee. A recent divorcee’s son. Four different stories intertwine in one deadly split-second. 

 

Honestly, this story was tragic with a tiny smidge of hope mixed in. It’s a good reminder to be kind to people despite not knowing what they’re going through. McBride did a great job showcasing how the lives of ordinary people can weave into others in surprising ways. The characters are explored deeply and it’s done well, to the point where you’re rooting for them. But do take note that there are many pieces that are often heavy, full of triggers, and quite sad.
