The Animal Crossing Villager Birthday Conundrum

 Fun fact:

Animal Crossing villagers have birthdays. Most people don't know that.

So what happens when the player character shares a birthday with a villager?

I share a birthday with Marcel (Dec. 31) so I got to live this out firsthand recently: 

Book Look: The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters by Balli Kaur Jaswal

 

 

It's literally 800 e-book pages of unpacking various traumas and abuses - both past and present- faced by 3 sisters as they travel through India to honor the last wishes of their mother.

 

 It's a gently sloping hill from funny to "Oh wow that's pretty heavy" and it makes me think about my life, despite not having most of the experiences.

Jaswal really has a lovely writing style that's just descriptive enough to keep the story moving.
