It's not a bad story, but I found the time jumping and character jumping confusing rather than helpful to the story or the development of the characters. It felt messy to me rather than explicative of how messy people are and life/love is. I wanted it to come together for me, and while I found some sweet moments and profound observations of living, it just didn't really make sense.
