“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 have mixed feelings about this book. Though I think, more accurately, I have mixed feelings about the characters (which, it could be argued, was the author's intention). I was not a fan of some of the timeline diversions - they were unnecessarily confusing/dense at points. I also did not like the repetition that occurred SO many times; I genuinely skipped some of the paragraphs because they added nothing to the story and made me insanely bored. In addition to this, my other main problem was that the author seemed to want to be very inclusive to gay and non-binary people, yet when it came to marriage it was very clear that it should only be between two people. There were so many awesome chances for recognition of polyamory, but the author didn't take them and that really disappointed me (especially after seeing all the other LGBT representation). For the most part, I enjoyed the plot, the characters, and the emotions that I felt when reading this book. The Pioneers section was my personal favorite - it was so creative and unique. This is not likely a book I would read twice, but I certainly don't regret picking it up.
