I’m at a loss for words. this book made me think deeply about love, life, time, art (bees and hexagons…iykyk). the writing was kind of manic, which makes sense because the main character is dealing with mania.. but the writing was also beyond beautiful and complex. it expresses a sense of intimacy and humanness that other romance novels fail to do. I’ll be thinking about this book for a long time, in relation to my own life, the ideas about time, quantum physics, and what not. okay that’s all. I’m done with my rant of a review now.

I absolutely loved the prose in this book.
I normally hate long chapters, or in this case a lack thereof, however it worked well for the story being told. I think it made sense and could be seen as a representation of the spiralling thoughts of Aldo's depression and anxiety and Rage 's mood disorder.
I absolutely love the discussion of time, space and the significance of an individual and their choices. It was a compelling thought experiment as a reader and a very interesting and immersive plot tool.
Both Aldo and Ragen are deeply, and intentionally flawed which makes for interesting and well rounded characters. I especially love the sections where Ragen's internal monologueis spiralling and creating scenarios where she is being chastised or catastrophizing. The part where she visualizes different emergencies she could create to force Aldo to come home. I find these to be a great depiction of what intrusive and compulsive thoughts can be like.

I’ve never read anything like this book.
I’m seriously not the same person I was before I read it.
Would definitely read it again and maybe again and again.
I wanted to cry when I finished it because it was very painful.
