“You should burn this, perhaps?”
“Perhaps this is growing up, he thought: learning to be unhappy and alone.”
The atmosphere of the story was breathtaking, utterly engrossing. Easily a highlight of the story, as well as the descriptions of the scenery and writing.
The story started off with such a passionate and heart wrenching letter and I wish it kept that energy.
Unfortunately the story felt rather predictable with Anton and Robbie breaking up and getting back together multiple times. By the end, what was supposed to be a dramatic end more like “AGAIN?”
I wished I routed for Anton and Robbie more. I never felt super connected to them or their love story.
