Review: The Immortalists

The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I saw this book in the library, and the premise was intriguing: a set of siblings have their fortunes read, and each one learns the date of their death. With this information, they each make vastly different decisions about their lives, sometimes together, and sometimes in isolation. As the first few siblings die, the book raises some tricky questions about fate and free will, while remaining a compelling narrative with complex characters.

really liked the writing and the story, and appreciated that the storytelling itself let the questions about fate work themselves out.
