It's a good book. It's hard to lose love once and being able to see glims of them is the same amazing but also tragic. I enjoy this book. It's very reflective of relationships between people and how sometimes we did not appreciate what we have.

Gorgeous book that is so easy to read and so beautifully written. Being adapted from a play, it is very play-like in the setting and the way it reads, which made it all the ore interesting. I loved the characters and I loved the way that the different stories overlapped slightly. Really really enjoyed this.
