It is only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on Earth and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up that we begin to live each day to the fullest as if it were the only one we had.” —Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
Oh my gosh, how I loved this book. The five-hundred-plus pages practically turned themselves. The premise was so unique and I devoured every word from the banging prologue to the surprising epilogue.
On a flight from Hobart to Sydney an older lady walks the aisle of the plane while stating age of death, cause of death to multiple passengers. When the passengers start dying the way she predicted they believe she is a clairvoyant and worry that their prediction will come true next, so of course they start to live their lives as differently as possible to avoid their prediction from coming true.
I loved the different points of view in each chapter, five passengers and the elderly lady herself. We also get snippets of how her predictions affect each person’s life and the people surrounding them. The elderly lady also basically gives us her very interesting life story. I loved how diverse the cast of characters was and how this book made me feel. I felt anxious, happy, sad and hopeful. I cried, I got scared and I laughed…at a book about death! It also really made me think about my own mortality but do not fret because there’s also lots of love and joy in the book.
I’m a big fan of butterflies so the cover of this one had me all 😍. The butterfly was chosen because of the idea of the butterfly effect scenario. I love them because they represent change, rebirth etc. I can’t wait to get my hands on a physical copy. All. The. Stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the Advance Readers Copy.
