Life. What is the meaning and purpose of life? This book managed to answer this question with one sentence. Cairo is an ordinary teenager living in the world of reality. She goes through her 16th year with the memory of an incident of a blender and strawberries. Using this one incident, the whole randomness of life is slowly revealed to us. Through many happenings, Cairo realizes that nothing can be helped, nothing is predestined. Whatever happens just happens, and there is no way to change the past. This is a delirious and light read, but if you think about it afterwards, it's one of those "iceburg" books. There's so much more beneath the surface. Dig deeper. I won't keep you here any longer, go READ.
