5 stars!!!!!!
This is one of the greatest love stories ever written.
This book was beautiful, romantic, confusing, poetic.
And the writing is just so elegant.
This is a love story where the characters never even stayed in each other's presence long enough to hold each other or hug or kiss, and yet it's one of the romantic books i've ever read.
The exchange of letters between the two main characters was just amazingggg. The banter is A1. The angst towards the end?? Gosh, so beautiful.
Absolutely phenomenal. I definitely will reread in the future because I feel like I’ll have an even deeper appreciation for the book.
PS: I’ll recommend not trying to understand every single time-travel concept in this book cos you’ll definitely be confused sometimes. So just go with the flow. Enjoy the letters. Enjoy the characters.
