5.0

I absolutely loved this book. I was so impressed by the structure, the twists, the character development, and the tone. 

There are three main characters in this story: Guy, Emily, and Eric. They are coincidence makers, which means they organize events to impact people's lives. They pay attention to the smallest details in habits, routines, and relationships. 

The writing was simple and lighthearted with sarcasm and humor, reminding me of Fredrik Backman, and the themes were deep, creative, and unexpected. 

This book was also filled with side characters and stories that slowly came together in one complex, beautifully intertwined plot. 

It is difficult to explain the details of this book without ruining it, but I absolutely loved it and am curious to read more of Yoav Blum's translated works. Shout out to the library!
