Oh my god I was bawling during the last pages. This book is one of the best pieces I've ever read. There's a doble perspective that really lets you get into both characters' minds and fully understand them. Maybe this is why some people find it boring? I have no clue, but getting into the inner monologues puts the realism into "magical realism". Everything is so raw and 100% how it'd go if time-travellers existed. 
Absolute masterpiece, be ready to have your heart shattered and then fixed then shattered again.

I have reread this book so many times and it still manages to surprise me. It is so cleverly written, and the author manages to weave a complicated timeline together so effortlessly that it is really easy to follow and not get lost with it. Henry and Clare's love story is full of hardships, tragedy and loss but you still manage to see the love and hope shine through. 

I absolutely love this book, but have knocked a star off for what I think to be some inappropriate thoughts/actions between the characters at questionable ages.
