This is a slow paced slice of life kind of story, where you're basically just wacthing them live their lives. The people feel very real in the sense that they have real flaws. It has very long chapters which plays with the pacing well.

Love transcending time and somewhat also space. It... Sometimes it gave me an ick, but I understand the phenomenon. Was it utterly romantic? No. Was it a bit obnoxious and intrusive? Yes. Is this book a classic? Absolutely. But I don't know what to think.
