A beautiful novella that tells a love story through letters over time travel. So much of this left my brain feeling like it was melting- I'm not super familiar with reading this genre of like, "poetic, high sci-fi", but the love story was just so captivating to me.

This will definitely require a re-read in the future, so I can really absorb the setting the next time around.
