She, to her credit, maintained the habit of reading and responding to them in a timely fashion. Albeit whilst also maintaining the necessary habit of skim reading some of the more self-indulgent philosophical musings, of the type that this particular missive threatened to become.¨

  Falling into Forever is the story of a young woman with a unique ability... 
  She can see people's entire lives in a flash when she makes direct eye contact with them. 
  Things get even weirder when she comes face to face with an old man with the same mysterious ability. To her bewilderment, the man isn't a stranger at all. 
  Together, they fall into a seemingly endless loop of lifetimes before settling in an infinitely blissful, spiritual realm. But they choose not to stay... 
  The narrative mimics her ability, creating an interplay of multiple layers within the story. As a reader, you become immersed in her experiences, the same way she sees glimpses of other people's lives. 
  Falling into Forever is the adventure of, not one, but multiple lifetimes.
