Hopeful story of love in communist Poland. Author’s first book and beautifully-written.

I have never lived the lives of Evans’ narrators. But the beauty of fiction is that I can learn of others’ experiences through the beautifully-written word. Her fiction is important to read especially right now at our current moment in history.

Kind of a Mitch Albom (“Tuesdays with Morrie,” “The Five People You Meet in Heaven,” “For One More Day,” etc.) for millennials, Matt Haig reminds us why life’s worth living and the exponential power of the tiniest of decisions.

Chaotic story told beautifully, this debut novel is a quick but powerful read. I have little in common with the characters yet am able to feel their anxiety and pain and find some parallels to my own experiences.

One of the most unique books I’ve ever read and easily top-three for the year. Paul, our gender-fluid protagonist, is a character unlike any other I’ve encountered and has a perspective that is truly all-encompassing.
