DID NOT FINISH: 10%

Getting a weird grooming vibe. Also realizing time travel is just too much of a headache for me. No thanks.

enduring love, in the most unusually trying of situations. makes long-distance relationships doable.

3.75 stars, I did really enjoy the book but there was nothing that stood out to me that could make me rate it higher, I really liked the love story - very cute, but the characters seemed kind of vanilla to me and didn’t have as many unique personality traits as I would have liked.

I would still highly recommend the book though if you like time travel, romance or magical realism

In general not a big fan of time traveling themes and this book was not what I had expected. This book somewhat was standoffish with the whole 'meeting his wife while she was a kid and he was grown up man' idea. But it is a romance book nonetheless. The ending was somewhat sad and touching.

Interesante forma de contar la historia... saltándose todas las implicaciones que significa que una persona pueda estar en el mismo tiempo y espacio dos veces...

This wasn't my thing. I enjoy slice of life but this was a dull picket fence, 2.5 kids, dog, rigid gender norm structure that I have no interest in. The time travel aspect just gave me an overall creepy vibe, as in pedophilic not an exciting murder novel. Now if Henry was time traveling to murder now that would have been more interesting. Can someone write this parody? If you want a good time travel book just read 'The Time Machine'.
