Just don’t break eye contact.” Later on, Esben explains why he chose this particular social experiment, “I wanted to do a social experiment because I thought it would be a great way to see how two strangers can communicate and feel and maybe even find common ground, all without talking. On page 33, Kerry, Esben’s sister, explains, “So, all you do is sit in a chair and hold eye contact for a hundred and eighty seconds… No talking, no vocalizing of any kind, no looking away, no touching. This particular experiment consisted of looking into a stranger’s eyes for 180 seconds. Esben is a social media “influencer” and does social media experiments. I took advantage of any free moment I had to read this book I finished it in a week, which I think is pretty good timing considering my busy life.Īt the beginning of chapter five, the experiment is finally explained. Fortunately, once I got past the first two chapters, I had a hard time putting it down. If it didn’t progress after the first few chapters, I probably would have put it down and added it to the pile of items I’m selling in August. This consists of different quotes and themes and… well, moments that kind of stood out to me.įor starters, the beginning was kind of slow. I’m still working on how to write book reviews in a way where they’re actually reviews and not just highlights, but for now, we’re going to talk about moments of the book in chronological order. Not gonna lie, as a single hopeless romantic, it kind of gave me hope for my third year of college since the main girl, named Allison, found the love of her life, named Esben, in her third year of college. The progression and character development of the girl telling the story is… phenomenal (so many positive adjectives came to mind picking one was semi-difficult). The book was so beautifully written and romantic. Now I want 180 seconds to meet the love of my life. Yeah I totally judged this book by its cover. This book was AMAZING! It was one of those purchases where I needed to add one more thing to my cart to get free shipping, and since the book cover looked pretty colorful and drew my attention, I added it to my cart without thinking much about it (but I did get that free shipping). There will more than likely be spoilers in this review, so if you are planning on reading 180 Seconds but haven’t started yet, I DO NOT recommend reading this review.
The way I go about my book reviews is I highlight things I loved about the book or things I related to the most while also giving my honest opinion (if a book is trash, I will happily let you know fortunately I haven’t encountered a trash book yet).
If you didn’t read my last book review, I wanted to give a disclaimer.
