It was wonderful to read something that was a slow-burner, where they took the time to get to know each other and indeed, the idea of taking that any further shook one of them up so much that it became a detailed part of the story.
There is a twist to this story that I never saw coming and I LOVED IT! I won't say any more than that because I don't want to spoil it for anyone else but it certainly gave the whole story a new spin which is incredibly hard to do at such a late stage in the book.
A raw and poignant story about life, love and friendships. Definitely recommended!

A Sky Full of Stars
By Dani Atkins
⭐️⭐️⭐️
When Alex married Lisa, she gave his life meaning. He no longer felt alone in the world – beneath his tough exterior she saw someone she could love. And soon, Alex, Lisa and their young son Connor made up a happy little universe.
But then Lisa dies unexpectedly, and their perfect world is destroyed. Alex is shattered by the loss, and overwhelmed by the difficulties of being a single father to a six-year-old. How can he and Connor carry on without Lisa guiding their way?
Just as Alex fears the darkness might overwhelm him, he discovers that his wife had a secret: there was a side to Lisa that he never knew. It seems that, even after she’s gone, Lisa is lighting the way for Alex… but is he brave enough to take it?
This was good I did enjoy it I wouldn’t have normally picked it up I had it in a subscription box but I’m glad I did. The story is so heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. You see how all these lives are affected because of one accident. Really nice read.

Then he makes Unbreakable, a thinking man's superhero film which is just as good as The Sixth Sense, but does only modest box office. Then Sign and The Village (both decent, but a step down for sure) and then over 10 years of crap including Lady in the Water and The Happening.
In a strange move, he decides to write and direct a "sequel"? or another film in the same universe with Split which dos well with critics and audiences enough to warrant the 3rd film in the trilogy, Glass.
Train wreck survivor David Dunn is still the one man vigilante "Dark Knight" who lends a hand to the unfortunate when he comes across "The Horde". The two men end up being captured and incarcerated in a mental institution with Elijah Price, another man and David's former nemesis who is currently catatonic. The doctor in change says she has been given only 3 days to diagnose and treat the men before they are sentenced to life in an institution.
One of the men has an agenda which involves all three of them he wants to see played out and will go to any length to ensure its success. The lives of the men are intertwined in certain ways they themselves may not even be aware of.
I was worried when I started watching since I thought the first hour was VERY SLOW to develop with mostly just talking and plotting. Once thing finally get going and the men start interacting with each other it becomes way more interesting.
Good to see Bruce Willis back in a film which actually ran theatrically. He is showing signs of age, but still gives a great performance along with Samuel L. Jackson and James McAvoy.
The ending may not sit well with everyone since it may be considered atypical, but I thought it was fitting and didn't see it coming.
Here's to hoping a revitalized career for the film's interesting and entertaining filmmaker.
