The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

dark emotional medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

Too much sex.  Even books I have read where they have sex a bunch at least they relate it to the events of the book and work it into the plot some way.  If each moment where they are getting freaky was taken out of this book, it would be half the size of what it was originally.  The rest of the book was okay.  The age gap was weird and it did not help that met and did things like have sex when they were more than twenty years apart.  I do not think the author did the “timeless love” thing very well.  
The book does not live up to its title because the book was equally split between the couple’s perspective and was mainly focused on husband rather than the wife.
Also, they never really end up fully addressing how the main character was a jerk in the past.
I tried to think of something to say that I liked about this book but it was just mid.  That’s really all it was.
