This ebook wasn't something I would normally read, but I am glad I gave it a chance. I absolutly loved the illustrations and the lenght of the chapters. At first I thought, it would get boring hearing the same format of the stories 5 times, but I was pleasantly surprised by how interesting it was hearing different aspects in various views. I loved how it all came together and how the people were connected individualy. The figures where also describes as not extraordinary with problems of everydays life. I found them really relatable and could find myself in a few of them. Because the characters were different ages, I think, everybody can relate to at least one of them. All the chapters were heartwarming and heartbreaking in their own ways, especially with some of the characters struggles hitting close to home. Every story somehow ended on an inspiring note that enhanced the cosy feeling of the tale.
Some of my favourite quotes:
'‘In a world where you don’t know what will happen next, I just do what I can right now.’'
''There are so many things to do, but I won’t make the excuse that I have no time any more. Instead, I will think about what I can do with the time I have.''
The book can sometimes feel like a drag and a bit slow or boring, but I think there's at least one chapter for most people reading it; there's at least one chapter that you'll be able to resonate with on a more personal level, and it might help you with some problems you're struggling with yourself, just like it did for me. The life lessons are something you kind of already know but the way the book delivers it, I'm not mad. Sometimes you get annoyed by hearing the same things over and over again and you simply brush it off by saying "easier said than done" and while that is absolutely true, somehow this book really made me appreciate the lessons each story conveyed. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend!
