I purchased this book from Amazon to read. All opinions are my own. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin. If you knew a fortune teller could give you the day you would die would you go? In 1969 Daniel tells his siblings he has found just that and even though not all of the children want to go they don’t want to not go with the others. The fortune teller give a them all a date and tells them not to share that information. The author captures each child as they have grown and gives you snippets of what their life was through their eyes. It’s a creepy kind of read that will keep you turning the pages and wondering would you want to know what day you would die. Would you live you life better or hide waiting for the day it finds you? Everyone in this book handles the guilt of that experience differently and its interesting to see. Simon lives on the edge, Klara lives in a fantasy world, Daniel has taken a safe job and settled modestly and Varya lives with OCD and paranoia.

I’ve got this one on my shelf and have been curious about it. It definitely sounds thought provoking.
