A quite interesting mystery full of self-discovery at its core, with quite an unusual narrative that tells this story from multiple angles at once, this book seemed quite promising from the start. However, the overly casual dialogues that oscillate between intentionally inarticulate and pseudo-intellectual quickly got on my nerves, and the subsequent attempts to make light of pedophilia as well as incest were only the last straw. I'm fairly confident that this is the worst book that I've read in the past decade or so.

Wtf gewoon. Kon ook wel zonder alle rare seksuele fantasieën en onnodig dierenleed 😭 ben hier ook gewoon te dom voor ofzo. Wel interessante concepten over de ziel en soms mooi omschreven stukken.

Weird… liked it and was sucked in. A bit slow at certain parts but overall I enjoyed it especially the character building. The characters themselves were complex but the pacing took me out of it every so often. Filled with a lot of disturbing themes centered around incest and age gaps but weaved seamlessly into a broader theme of soulmates and time-bending.
