this was an objectively good story and i think the author did a great job at portraying the complexity of grief, how it can change your life and connect people. even if you're not going through a grieving phase right now i think it will really make you sad or, at least, just feel hopeful about life. 

there's so many things i liked about this book: how the phone booth realy exists, the author's writing style, the characters, the short chapters and the super short interludes between them... and i absolutely love how despite all of their pain, the characters eventually found something worth living for that allowed them to get over a huge tragedy.

however, i felt like at some point the story got kinda overwhelming and i was 
just dragging myself to finish it, since sometimes the narration felt kinda confusing and easy to get unfocused by. 

maybe it's not a book for everyone but there's many parts that make me believe it's a worthy read.
