This book was so good and almost broke me! The only thing is I would have flipped the lady two chapters.

So uniquely written. Was compelling. Grew a bit wearisome. But worth completing. Yet the ending felt lacking. An ode to Central Park and a love story.

The writing was beautiful and the setting seemed a loving tribute to a city and space very dear to me (Central Park). I appreciate how the characters weave in and out of the story, it did give the perspective of so many lives moving and existing all at once in one constant space. But I found the changing voices hard to follow at times.

And I didn't understand the choice to have the main characters actually set outside of the city, telling the story from away on Long Island.
