To Every You I've Loved Before by Yomoji Otono
4.0
I really love the concept for the parallel words taking place in two books. I’ve watched both movies so I know what happens in both universes which made it easier to follow along with the book.
I really like the structure of the book, it’s not that long but each chapter tells a different stage of the characters life through age and whilst it can move pretty fast, it felt like a nice enjoyable pace with everything advancing and it was a nice story that wasn’t anything serious or plot heavy, but just something unique and fun.
I also enjoyed the concept of the alternative realities and the worries and problems that it delved into, I found it to be quite creative and some plot twists (whilst not many) were pretty well executed too.
One thing that I would’ve preferred was a little more depth in the relationship between the stages of “wanting people to leave her alone” to the whole “I’m ready to be married” since it didn’t feel like there was enough emphasis on their growth and relationship between those 2 points, but I did like all the characters and I liked their relationship too but it could’ve definitely been better.
It can also feel like not too much has happened aside from the key moments, but I still enjoyed it. It was a nice and fun easy read and it didn’t take long to finish it either.
I found the book a lot easier to understand with all the concepts of alternative realities too so i found myself immersed a lot more in the book (I did enjoy the movie too but I was little confused at times).
Overall a really good book and I’m looking forward to reading the other book soon!
