It’s impossible to ignore the paradoxical nature of mobile phones and modern technology that can both increase self inflicted isolation or else provide our only means of communicating with a world that to all intents and purposes has temporarily shut down. He makes every character so broken and wonderful and captivating, and this was the perfect book to showcase that talent with.

He’s one of life’s triers, but his romantic relationship and his career have both fallen apart, and a family relationship has gone wrong as well. If you’re asked to comment on the state of your industry or the economy in general, it’s helpful if you can put it straightforwardly. If you’ve already done that, your item hasn’t arrived, or it’s not as described, you can report that to Etsy by opening a case.

While this book is touted as 'heart-warming' and 'life-affirming' I do worry it could also be triggering for some - particularly as the sub-plot with Gina seemed to have zero consequence for the characters this story. We start off with James who has decided to end his life, but wants to let people know himself, so he sends a group text to all of the 158 contacts in his phone - some are family members, a serious ex, an ex best friend, his flatmate and several ex clients. If you can find out when your thoughts are needed and respond as quickly as possible, you will be among the journalist’s favourite people. But if you can back it up with some data – in forms that can be easily quoted and understood – that’s better still.

Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy. It is a thought provoking narrative sugar coated in humour that dare I say I found enjoyable and highly readable. The workplace mentoring program offers an impactful way to create a clear pathway for, and retain, high potential women leaders. Ellie is reunited with the other four travellers, who have also met simulations of their loved ones. These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy.

The question of who takes responsibility for James’ predicament, who decides to do something proactive and who excuses themselves from the responsibility, all this is masterfully explored by Watson. The front and back interior covers feature a patten of leaves on a deep navy background which complements the colourful exterior. One of the main issues was Emil, I found him constantly wondering if he would get to be with Steffi very disconcerting. It would have been cool to have each person he texted have a seperate chapter (yes, I know there were 157 or so texts so maybe grouping the 50 or so people that didn't responded into one chapter, as well as the 20 or so people who's numbers were disconnected into another, etc).
