“It isn’t a sadness, but a joy, that we don’t do the same things for the length of our lives.”

This book was ALMOST too clever for its own good. Almost. But somehow, Zevin pulled it off perfectly. Smart, funny, reflective, tragic, and redemptive all in one. I get the hype. 

It makes complete sense to me that the author’s recommended further reading includes Cloud Cuckoo Land, Stories of Your Live and Others, and The Starless Sea.

I disliked the first 300 pages, but was blown away by the last 100. I'm not sure it would ever be something I'd read again but I really respect how immersive and rounded the characters are - it's almost disturbing how lifelike they are

The way this book is written is stunning to say the least. I had a difficult time with some of the characters and their choices but I think that’s purposeful and real. This is a book I’ll be thinking about for a long time both for it’s artistry, character study, and it’s themes. Warning (not spoiler): this is a book that makes you self reflect a lot on your own relationships and choices.

None of the negative things are supported by the author or by her writing. They are performed by bad or complex characters who are doing bad or complicated things.

Dov is the worst and I wish he had got more comeuppance but i guess it’s realistic the the worst dudes get away with it and get labeled at charming but eww I hate him
