Interesting book that, although it deals with thematic material around suicide, is actually fairly light and comedic in many ways.

The story revolves around 4 mostly ordinary people who have an unlikely or unexpected encounter on New Years Eve.

The style of the book was interesting, combining first person perspectives in such a way as to create the feeling both that you were an outside observer as well as sometimes getting into the characters heads.

I kept wondering how the author was going to handle the ending without ruining the book (I'd also heard from a fellow reader that they felt the end tailed off), and I think it wrapped up pretty well which was a relief (so many books I find are compromised by a poor ending).

Overall, an interesting read that seemed to me to be a commentary on everyday life, what happiness is, etc (but you could read it and enjoy it without having to get all deep like that).

It's taken me days to write this review, as I've been conflicted on what to rate this book.

I really liked the structure, which was told through the 4 main characters, each moving the story along. The characters were diverse in their ages and personalities have unique ways of experiences the same events.

Although I was pulled into the story right away, I did find that it started to weaken towards the end.

Overall, I would recommend this book which has a good message and tells the story in a unique way.
