I really loved this book. I love how Rebecca Serle is able to use something like fate or a supernatural element to take readers on a journey that explores big what if questions. This is one of my favorite passages:

“Irina kneads a muscle in her neck. “The problem with love is that it’s not enough,” she says. And then she looks up at me. Her eyes are still soft. “But it’s also nearly impossible to let go of once you’ve found it.” I straighten up. “Well, that is a catch-22,” I say. Irina nods. She plucks a crumbled dish towel off the counter and begins to fold it. “Life is a catch-22,” Irina says. “That’s why God invented female friendship.””

A close second favorite:

“The unknown can be beautiful. A surprise can be flowers on your doorstep. It can be a piece of paper that ends up changing your life. What is blank space, really, but an invitation?”
