One of the best contemporary novels I've read. Great characters and wonderful story. Can't recommend it enough.

Know that this was Jonathan Safran Foer's wife, I could only expect an amazing story. There writing styles are so similar, I feel like it should be there own genre. Although I am not usually a fan of love stories this one found a place in my heart.

This is one of the greatest, most impactful, passionate, and vibrant books I have EVER read. “The History of Love” left me feeling ripped open and reassured all at once and I don’t know how to fully process my thoughts. I will be rereading and rereading and rereading this book for the rest of my life.

Very good book. Makes one sad that it takes that many for realization to hit home.
