Reviews and Comments

I loved this book for many reasons though the biggest one is that it's told from several different perspectives and that cultivated empathy with all the characters.

I didn't want this book to finish but it has and I loved it! There was something very surreal and oddly comforting about reading a story where everyday things disappear during a pandemic where much of our former lives has disappeared

Given all the great reviews I was looking forward to this book but I found only a handful of the stories - The Finkelstein 5, The Era, Zimmer Land and Through The Flash - really captivated me.

This book really resonated with me as I've never really identified with what Perry calls the "Default Man".

Very much an airport impulse buy because the idea of buying a book on saying no at a period in my life when I wanted to be better at asserting my boundaries seemed ideal. It's an easy read and full of loads of examples on how to say no in situations though I am not sure it warranted a whole book on the subject. The writing style is very in your face and you'll either love or loathe it.
