Sweepingly romantic in places and poignantly human in others, The Hundred Loves of Juliet is excellent for fans of The Time Traveler's Wife or The Invisible Life of Addie Larue. Both Helene and Sebastian are flawed people, and at several points I had my doubts that they would make things work, supernatural curse notwithstanding. They really had to work for it, to overcome their hang-ups about love and trauma and past circumstances.

I do wish the book was maybe 30-50 pages longer, just so there could be more transition time between "I'm in this crazy man's house" to "I might be the reincarnation of Juliet" before they were suddenly, irrevocably in love.

I will also note that pregnancy is usually an automatic DNF for me if it's from a POV character, but I kept going to the end, since that doesn't appear until about the 70% mark.

Content warnings include: death of parent, death, grief, cheating & gaslighting by previous partner, and pregnancy.
