The book beautifully captures the complexities of modern romantic relationships, showing how our past experiences shape our present selves. The characters, Marianne and Connell, feel incredibly real with all their depth and flaws, making their struggles and obstacles relatable. Although, I couldn't help but wish that they had made more of an effort to overcome their challenges and find a way to make things work.

One thing that threw me off a bit was the lack of quotation marks in the writing. It made the dialogue a bit tricky to follow at times. Another thing is the timeline jumps. It felt like we were hopping back and forth a lot, which could be a bit jarring.
