Love and Other Paradoxes by Catriona Silvey

4.0

---

This was absolutely my sort of book. It was sweet, it was funny, and it had a philosophical look at time travel, and whether the future is set in stone, or whether our actions cause what happens.

I loved how pretentious Joe was and I loved seeing him change over the course of the novel as Esi and Diana had an effect over him. I loved how the two romances in the book were so different from each other and how it was easy to infer which was the right one for him.

I am a big fan of time travel in fiction and I really enjoyed how it was used in this book. I liked the idea of the tourist groups heading back in time to see their favourite poet as a student and giving him gifts.

Overall this was fun, relaxing and easy to read.

I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Cross-posted to thewhisperingofthepages.co.uk
