I love this book! It's such a different plot and a very emotional love story. I wish we would have gotten a bit more about Clare at the end but it was a long story already. But I would still recommend to all my friends!

Took a while to get into but once I did I felt like I was plodding along to get it finished... Didn't enjoy so much.

I was way too creeped out to make it to 100 pages into this book.

I get the premise of a romantic relationship across time, but a man in his 30s kissing a girl in his teens that he knows becomes his wife is too much for me.

The plot is nice, the writing is good, but the age gap relationship is not kept near appropriate enough for me to finish this book. If it was done as commentary on something and used as a plot device, I might be able to get past it, but it isn't. This man is straight up creeping on his wife when she was a child.

I cannot understate how grossed out I am.
