Measure

I teared up multiple times, even though a book about sealed fates has few surprises. It’s not the fates themselves that are touching, it’s their interconnectedness. Suspend your disbelief and don’t think too hard about the immutability of the strings. The real story is what everyone does with the lives their strings represent.

Enjoyed the book. Admittedly there were a few times I was starting to waver over the repetitive themes and conversations, however the characters are well written and the human response is seemingly accurate.

The book is science fiction based, but outside of the first chapter's explanation of the strings arrival and their meaning - the SciFi elements cease and the rest of the book is an interesting story of cultural response, and relationships.
