This was a debut from this author and was one of the most compelling novels I have read in a long time. Each of the four siblings in the book are given a prophecy about how their life will end and the book follows each character as they deal with the repercussions of this knowledge. Each character comes to terms in different ways and either accepts, or denies. This includes chasing their dreams, or letting go and giving up. This book reminded me a little bit of the book Big Fish. I liked that this book was extremely thought provoking and made you question how you would deal with having this information. The book was extremely well written and I loved that there was a clear and concise ending.
