This book is poetry in motion. I loved the structure of it, story -> letter, and the progression therein. Both authors' way of describing scenes and feelings touches on the ineffability & vibrancy that is life. And their way of describing time travel is like nothing I've ever read, weaving braids of reality together. This was a quicker read, and it was so, so good.
