At the heart of this novel is a romance between two very different people, who are brought together by chance. Unfortunately, they are utterly lacking in communication skills, and spend almost the entirety of the book whining and pining for each other, while going through life separately. On a technical side, its clear the author is quite knowledgeable, and the main characters are fully realized with their own unique interests and personalities, but the tone often comes across as rather pretentious. I did not find the characters likable, whatsoever.
