"Your future self will always see what your present self is blind to. This is the problem with mortality, which is in fact a problem of time."

This both scratched an itch in my brain left a lingering sense of dissatisfaction. The writing was amazing but omg is it a pret peeve when authors put speech not in speech marks. Especially towards the end when everything was just on big block of words. This made it harder to read. I totally get it was a writing choice but it didn't work for me. The three stars isn't a bad rating. I enjoyed the book just the writing style wasn't for me towards the end so I felt bored and uninterested because of it

That being said I am absolutely fascinated by this book. The first half of this book was utterly beautiful and if I could read it again for the first time I would. I love both characters so much and their journey both as an indiidual and as a couple was complicated and messy - just like they are.
