Nine suicides
One Cult
No leader

Nine people arrive one night on Chelsea Bridge. They’ve never met. But at the same time, they run, and leap to their deaths. Each of them received a letter in the post that morning, a pre-written suicide note, and a page containing only four words: Nothing important happened today.

That is how they knew they had been chosen to become a part of the People Of Choice: A mysterious suicide cult whose members have no knowledge of one another.

Thirty-two people on that train witness the event. Two of them will be next. By the morning, People Of Choice are appearing around the globe; it becomes a movement. A social media page that has lain dormant for four years suddenly has thousands of followers. The police are under pressure to find a link between the cult members, to locate a leader that does not seem to exist.

How do you stop a cult when nobody knows they are a member?

Nothing Important Happened Today

My review

Nothing Important Happened Today is unlike anything I have ever read before. I’m not even sure how to review this book. It’s certainly unique and weirdly compelling. I can’t really explain why. It just is.

It is a disturbing story featuring many suicides. Groups of people ending their lives together despite seemingly having no link to each other. Other than all receiving the same letter through the post on the morning of their deaths. I still don’t get it!

I was confused, I was intrigued, I was saddened, I was disturbed, but I was fascinated. I couldn’t stop reading it and the ending is pure genius.

happy reading 🙂
