@booksandbraidsbyk_21 𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙍𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬 📦🧵 𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠: The Measure by Nikki Erlick 𝙍𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 𝙎𝙮𝙣𝙤𝙥𝙨𝙞𝙨 - Today, most of us are thrilled when we see a box(es) outside on our front porch as it is indicative that the wait for something we ordered is finally over! But imagine waking up one day to a wooden box on your front porch and inside that box held a string. This {short or long} string tells us a story, a story of how long we have to live. No matter where one lives, each and every person in the world receives this box, and now the world is in an uproar. 𝙏𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 - A book told from multiple perspectives, it was an extremely thought provoking novel, and raised many questions like, “would I open the box myself?” In my opinion, this book depicts a lot of current events that we, as a world, have recently gone through. In addition, the struggles we face individually in this thing we call life. I was able to take a step back and think about how I would ‘measure’ my life if I knew how little (or much) time I had left on earth. 𝙎𝙤, 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙤𝙭?

Book Synopsis



The Midnight Library meets The Immortalists in this spirit-lifting, high-concept blockbuster debut.

Would you choose to know how long you'll live?

It seems like any other day. You wake up, pour a cup of coffee, and head out.

But today, when you open your front door, waiting for you is a small wooden box. This box holds your fate inside: the answer to the exact number of years you will live.

From suburban doorsteps to desert tents, every person on every continent receives the same box. In an instant, the world is thrust into a collective frenzy. Where did these boxes come from? What do they mean? Is there truth to what they promise?

As society comes together and pulls apart, everyone faces the same shocking choice: Do they wish to know how long they'll live? And, if so, what will they do with that knowledge?

The Measure charts the dawn of this new world through an unforgettable cast of characters whose decisions and fates interweave with one another: best friends whose dreams are forever entwined, pen pals finding refuge in the unknown, a couple who thought they didn't have to rush, a doctor who cannot save himself, and a politician whose box becomes the powder keg that ultimately changes everything.

Enchanting and deeply uplifting, The Measure is a sweeping, ambitious, invigorating story about family, friendship, hope, and destiny that encourages us to live life to the fullest.
