It’s good. I think the plot is a little predictable but it did still get to me by the end. The romance is written in a very hazy way which is maybe supposed to resemble the haziness of memories, but also makes it hard for me to believe the emotions. These are two characters who have impacted each other so greatly they remember each other for the rest of their lives. And yet, it never really seems like they like each other all that much. This book definitely grew on me as it went. And I discovered different angles as I kept reading. But I had my issues as well.
