TLDR: Bloated with the wildest and nonsensical metaphors leaving you never really "knowing" either mc. The overarching story was decent but not any special for me. Also not quite the love story the blurb leads you to believe.
Also that age gap? maybe you shouldn't be dating 16yo mentally ill girls Oscar? Just a thought.

Beautifully written. I enjoyed this book, but the plot was actually secondary to how immensely I enjoyed this author's descriptive talent.

The structure of this story is fantastic. I love not only the dual narration, but that each narrator is responsible for the two different time periods. The duality that is a central theme throughout is beautifully done.
Noah and Jude both only have half the story of what happened to drive them apart from each other, and the revalation of the truth brings them back together.
I loved the usage of the art terms in Noah's pov, how he was constantly creating his 'invisible gallery'. The way he saw the world in colors. I also loved Jude's usage of superstitions in order to deal and process her traumas.
The way this story circles around to become complete was absolutely brilliant.
Very beautiful story about family and love in many forms, and how secrets can break even the strongest of bonds and how sharing the truth can build them back even stronger.
