Our Infinite Fates by Laura Steven
4.0
"Sometimes I think the force of your love could mend the earth." ✨
I want to start off by saying the writing itself is BEAUTIFUL.
STUNNING. GORGEOUS. I want to tattoo the quotes all over my body so that I can read them forever.
However, I do have very mixed feelings about this book as a whole. This is the premise of my dreams, which led me to have very high expectations and it was one of my most anticipated reads of the year, but unfortunately I think the execution fell flat. The pacing caused many parts to lull for me to where I was not fully engrossed in the story and kept setting it down. Then the structure of the story jumping back and forth between flashbacks and the current timeline caused it to feel very repetitive.
Despite that though, I still felt ALL the emotions which is a key point for me in liking a book. It was achingly romantic, DEVASTATING, and tender. So many quotes that just gave me goosebumps and stole my breath and it left me with a cavernous hole in my chest. a true testament that LOVE transcends all.
