A beautiful Romeo & Juliet reincarnation retelling/reimagining. The author's note at the end absolutely wrecked me. I read a print copy & got tears on it, damnit. I needed a soft love story like this.

 I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Giving this an extra .5 stars mostly because the Author's Note gave more meaning to the themes of the novel). This is a cute, Time Traveler's Wife-esque romance; there are tragic elements revealed in the middle of it, but none of them touch our featured couple, Romeo and Juliet...I mean...Sebastian and Helene. For how long and anguished their romantic history is, I expected more chemistry--but their relationship is still sweet and loving. There are also some scenes in which the villain gets his comeuppance in a way that I found sneaky yet satisfying.
