I'm not even sure I have the words to describe how great this was. Chloe Benjamin has woven a tale that's ethereally beautiful, and devastatingly sad, without being fluffy or saddening. She tells the tale of the Gold children's lives as they unfold after learning their dates of death as children. It is a story of love and loss and choices and chance occurrences, and family; the things that separate us and the things that bring us together. Benjamin has managed to tell a story that's surreal and yet entirely realistic all at once. I'd call this one a 2018 must-read.

I received a copy of this book through the Penguin First-to-read program. I didn't have to review it but I did because I liked it.
