It took me 3 mos. to finish this book. Considering its length, it should have not taken me that long. However, the book's premise needed me to put days in between while reading it than binging the whole book.
Overall, it felt like reading someone's musings. It felt like a friend writing to you about what's happening in their lives, though in third person. The story was relatable in the sense that it can be anyone you know. It's believable, even the thoughts of the main character.
Did it leave me any feelings? No. I neither feel satisfied nor sad with the ending. It just left me relieved, even contemplative, of how fickle love can be in a person's life.
