✳️I remember watching glimpses of this movie when I was in high school. Because of the title 'Time Traveler', I thought it would be an action movie.. But there were no such scenes, so I skipped almost everything. But something grabbed my attention. I kept in mind that I would have to watch this movie when I'm older... And after so long, I saw this book on an online site and remembered the whole thing. And.. here I am.✳️

🔹“𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒍𝒆𝒇𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅...𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒚𝒔...𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒚 𝒂𝒃𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆?”🔹

✳️I never knew what this book has in store for me. I imagined it as a story of a husband who visited his deceased wife in a time machine. But this story was far better than that. To be honest, I am in love with this book. It's been 2-3 months since I have rated a book 5 star. This book made me smile, laugh and cry. Audrey Niffenegger is an amazing story teller. She has done a remarkable job in writing this book.✳️

🔹“𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒐𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒐𝒎; 𝒊𝒏 𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒕, 𝒕𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒐𝒎. 𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝒏𝒐 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈”🔹

✳️Rather than Sci-fi, it's a romantic story. The Sci-fi part is in fact pretty easy to understand compared to other books and movies. At first, things can get confusing. But after some chapters, we will get adjusted to that. Past, future and present, everything is connected. It's like a loop. ✳️

🔹“𝑰 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖, 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔. 𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈”🔹

✳️When I saw the cover at first, I didn't understand its significance. But later, when I went through the whole book, I realized that it's the best cover this book deserves. Omg, I feel like crying right now. I will never forget Henry and Clare. Their love story will remain in my heart forever. Even before reading this book, I placed this book along with other classic books on my shelf. Perhaps my heart knew  exactly where this book belonged.✳️

🔹“𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒏𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒍, 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔 𝒖𝒔 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆. 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝒂 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒔.”🔹

✳️I know that I'm going on and on about my feelings here. Sorry for that, but I'm so in love with this masterpiece. Henry and Clare, they were destined to be with each other, even in life and death. I highly recommend this book if you love romantic classics.✳️
