It seems like just another morning. Around the world, people wake up, check the news, open the front door. On every doorstop is a box. Inside that box is the exact number of years that person has left to live. Whether they open it or hide it under their bed, each person must learn to live in this new world: a couple who thought they didn’t have to rush their life together, a doctor who cannot save himself from his own fate, best friends whose dreams are forever entwined, and a politician whose box becomes the powder keg that ultimately changes everything…

Thought provoking but light
Revisado: 03-19-23
The tale is told from the perspective of eight people, whose lives intertwine in both expected and unexpected ways after a world wide life altering event. There is a sort of dystopian theme, which highlights the manipulative and malicious nature of humans, as well as the beauty and love of it. Overall - the book remains fairly light hearted (if the theme of it is taken into account). There are a few twists here and there but somewhat connectable. All the stories ends are tied up neatly. It is a thought provoking book, and truly a great conversation starter. Perfect for book club. It does force one to evaluate your own thoughts and ideas on fate and humanity. Really the worst part of this audiobook is the downright awful South African accent the narrator attempted to deliver - luckily it only lasts a minute or so. Overall I'd rate it 4.5/5.
