 In her signature lyrical prose, Winman transports you into the lives of her characters - a world of vibrant colour and family, as well as crushing loneliness and loss. Ultimately this book is about first loves. Told from the perspectives of the two main characters, Ellis and Michael, it moves through their memories of each other and the complexities of their relationship, exploring friendship, hope, love, survival and finally the question of "what if?". It is impossible not to be moved or charmed by their story. What strikes me most about Tin Man is the way it explores grief. It is so well written, you feel the visceral pain and emotions alongside the characters. Moving, bittersweet and powerful.

such a beautiful book with such a beautiful love story. I recommend for anyone who loves art, Van Gogh, or The 1 and All Too Well by Taylor Swift. Very fun and interesting to annotate and lots of references to past chapters. If you’re thinking of reading Call me by your name read this instead there’s no gross age gap or fetishized feel !

this is exactly the kind of story i usually adore, but for some reason it just didn't click with me this time. i blame my reading slump. the 2nd half was way more engaging than the 1st one tho
