I will admit that it took me about a 150 pages to get into this, but once I was on board it really delivered. The pace is slower than the first book, and it was a good lesson for me how rewarding it can be when you let a book take its time. The writing is so beautiful and well thought out. The characters are incredible.

I feel conflicted about the ending. Ten years is such a long time for Arin and Sefa to be so depressed. If I die prematurely, I would hope my husband would move on with his life at least in a couple of years. If Arin doesn't want to date- fine, but couldn't he have found a really fulfilling hobby or mentored a kid or something? Suffering so intensely for ten years doesn't prove your love, it proves your unwillingness to seek help and try to be healthy.
