The Immortalists is a story that tells the life of four siblings who know the dates of their deaths and because of that how they live their life. The book definitely has its high points and low ones, but although it was wonderfully written and the plot was unique I felt that the book fell flat. In my opinion the first half of the book was the best with the stories of Simon and Klara, but after that the depiction of Daniel and Varya’s life were not that out of the ordinary. The book does dive into the complexities of family relationships as siblings or children get older, but I did not feel too compelled to keep reading. I gave this book a three out of five stars because I would recommend it to others who enjoy magical realism but I do not think I would reread it in the future. Something I really enjoyed is that the author is from Madison, Wisconsin which I love seeing and reading local Midwest authors
