I didn't like this 😕 I thought the premise was so interesting, and we begin at the most interesting part, where a woman tries to decide what to do with her lover's body. I thought the beginning was so thrilling, it made me so excited for the rest of the book but we flash back to their story together and it's an absolute chore to read. These characters are painted as soulmates from when they were children and it gives them no interesting personalities or traits or chemistry - just zooms through the facts of their lives, switching perspective back and forth about how much these two love each other, miss each other, are destined for each other etc. They feel barely like characters, no strong memories or personalities, things just happen to them and keep happening to them until the end.
