This beautiful story intertwines three disparate lives with the common thread of loss - loss of love, loss of purpose, loss of recognition, loss of family. While the main action all takes place within a day, there are sections for each of the three main characters that describe how they got to their unexpected meeting in a park. The styling reminded me of Nicola Yoon's "The Sun is Also a Star." It deals with a wide range of themes, including sexuality, fame, race, Islamaphobia, familial expectations, fractured families, and the facades we all wear to hide our innermost worries and fears. I thought each character was equally well-rounded, they all brought their unique troubles to the table in a way that their distress is on the same level; no one person's problems are treated as more serious than the others'. Beautiful story about determining if, and when, it's right to move on.
