The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin is a novel about four siblings in NYC who go to a fortune teller her when they are all very young and she tells them each the day of their death. What enfolds is each one’s life story and the creepy end predicted by the fortune teller. Is it fate? Self fulfilling prophecy?

This story was so far fetched I had a hard time finishing the book, I found it ridiculous, depressing and pointless. A great disappointment as Benjamin is clearly a good writer and there was potential here for a great book, however, this is one to skip.
