The Measure
Eight ordinary people. One extraordinary choice.
It seems like just another morning.
Around the world, people wake up, check the news, open the front door.
On every doorstop is a box. Inside that box is the exact number of years that person has left to live.
Whether they open it or hide it under their bed, each person must learn to live in this new world: a couple who thought they didn’t have to rush their life together, a doctor who cannot save himself from his own fate, best friends whose dreams are forever entwined, and a politician whose box becomes the powder keg that ultimately changes everything…
Enchanting and deeply uplifting, The Measure is a sweeping, ambitious and invigorating story about family, friendship, hope and destiny that encourages us to live life to the fullest.

Jenn Thornley –
From the Book Club meeting.
There was a very mixed reception for this book at our meeting. We all agreed the concept was great but only a few of us really enjoyed the book. Most of us were left a little disappointed and thought so much more could have been made of the book. It was a really great conversation starter and really made us think, however a lot of the book felt a little pointless and there were still many questions the author did not address.
Overall, we were initially impressed with the book but were ultimately left a little disappointed. The Measure by Nikki Erlick averaged 2.72 stars
