Book Club Notes
The premise of this book is absolutely brilliant and so apt given today’s obsession with retaining youth. It is written so poignantly and forces you to question your own beliefs around aging and living.
Does freezing yourself in time equate to living? If you remove signs of ageing are you stunting your own growth? Would you want to live forever if it meant leaving all your loved ones behind?
It was a captivating read with a deeply upsetting ending that will leave you wanting more.
