Heavens is not a love story, as it purports to be on the bank cover. It is a story about grief, grief about the big and small ends of the world. Set against the backdrop of apocalypses, the two timelines reflect on loss in lots of different ways.
The book is quite 'literary' with Spartan paragraphs that simply describe how characters are without showing you, and none of the characters are very likeable. They also continuously reveal themselves to be pretty horrible people as they lose parts of themselves.
