The way to turn an ex-lover into a friend is to never stop loving them, to know that when one phase of a relationship ends it can transform into something else. It is to acknowledge that love is both a constant and a variable at the same time.
Man. Such an engaging read, and Zevin plays with literary techniques quite creatively, particularly in the novel's last few sections. Marx's character was truly such a highlight (although his name choice is...questionable?), especially as Sadie/Sam grew increasingly unlikeable and cold.
Zevin's consideration of platonic and romantic love here is also so, so validating.
I do have a lot of research to do about this novel's various plagiarism & Zionism controversies, however...

Also I did not like the writing. At times it felt like the author wanted to flex a fancy word they knew so they threw it in an unnatural manner.
