My absolute favorite book I've read so far this year. So many beautiful moments, big and small. Lots of unexpectedly literary sentences nestled within larger paragraphs of more general description. Would love to close read this!! I cried for the last 50 pages. Will read again and again.

Clare and Henry (the protagonist couple of the story) have- and will always have- a special place in my heart. I have re-read this more times than I can count and I sob my heart out every time.
The theme of time and romance are woven together in an ongoing cycle of dramatic irony as adult Henry experiences encounters with his wife Clare that for her took place when she was little.
I’m yet to find another book like it.

I think the concept of the story is very interesting, but I think it could've been written without the large amount of weird grooming moments that exist. He could've been a genuine mentor, but I find it strange that the author had to include that Clare knew she'd marry him and only him a long time. It doesn't give sad romanticism to me. It gives a sad creepy overtone to the whole story for me. I also found the ending disappointing.

A lovely take on the love story. The audio performers were wonderful and helped shape the story immensely. Not sure the last chapter was needed.

I enjoyed this book but I think all those who read it before me spoiled it. I think I just kept looking for more and it didn't deliver. That said, it is a highly original love story and a good read.

DNF.
It just felt gross to me. Kind of groomerish? I had to put it down.
