The Measure

This is not my typical read, but it was an easy accessible library listen. It kept me engaged, and thinking about mortality, predestination, and a life well lived. It definitely requires a willing suspension of disbelief, but I was impressed with all of the permutations and possibilities that the author anticipated and explored. It was contrived, of course, but if you like time travel, this is a bit similar. Also, I wish that an editor had told this young author to recalibrate how children of a certain age play, but otherwise, she did a good job also with themes that come out of Covid, politics today, and current debates about our rights and what divides us.
