I wasn’t sure how I was going to like this.  I hate books with time travel, thankfully this wasn’t really a time travel book. But not only did I like this, I loved it.  I started subtly crying at chapter 31 and by the end it was an ugly cry.   This is not a love story like what you’re expecting, but it is a love story. I grew to love these characters with all their flaws.  The book is going to sit with me I think for a long time.  And ultimately, that is a love story on its own.
