emotional reflective
A pretty excellent novela about grief and transitionary phases. I got scared at one point that something heterosexual was going to happen because the narrator mentioned they had tried for a baby, but it ended up ok in the end.

It surely lasted forever - accurate title. I don’t know if I am just not intelligent enough to appreciate this book or what. The first half I was at least able to SLIGHTLY follow, despite not feeling any emotion toward the message it was trying to relay. The second half…might as well have been a foreign language. Reading the positive reviews about how poetic this book is and how it left people crying leaves me questioning my reality, but not in the good way. I’d appreciate any enlightenment on this book, but god I am glad that is over.

It is an interesting book, makes you think a lot about what it means to miss someone, how much freewill we have and what death really is.
