Okay so I finished this yesterday and at first, I didn’t really know how I felt about it. On one hand, it’s a very interesting story that keeps you on your toes from beginning to end but on the other hand, I couldn’t figure out what the point of any of it was. But as I’ve sat with it, I think I’ve realized that that is the point! It’s about finding a meaning in things that don’t make sense and finding a way to live and love through it all and I think that’s really beautiful! It’s about 2 people finding and loving each other through unexplainable circumstances, through space and lifetimes, and making a life together through it all! 

This book was truly nothing at all what I expected but I really enjoyed it! The end left me a little underwhelmed so I took off a half star but I was okay since I know there’s a sequel!
