This is one of the best books I have ever read. I had no idea where the story was going from start to finish, and I loved that surprise. I want to immediately read this book all over again. This is a new favorite and everybody should read it.

i said midway through reading this that i wanted to inhale the words and grasp desperately to each syllable as if it were the last breath i ever took, but honestly, after finishing the book i now know that i want for more than that. i want to tear apart my heart and embed each word onto each and every artery. this is a masterpiece, well and truly. i have never read such a thrilling piece that has had me in ruins because good god, that writing is not even phenomenal, it is a word not even fathomed to language yet. this is a gift to the writers told that to write, you must meet tradition. fuck tradition. write with the flowers in mind, and love with your words entwined.

This is a poetic epistolary romance - I nearly didn’t read it as a result, but it was immediately in my top five. It’s remarkably beautiful.

I did not include stalking as a content warning but a person who is sensitive to that trigger may need to be cautious while reading. It’s complicated.

In the endless battle between the dystopian Agency and the utopian Garden, agents battle across time. Travelling up and down the threads of time, Red and Blue come across one another by pure chance...or is it? Red belongs to the Agency and Blue is part of the Garden, but through a series of letters, their relationship turns from rivals, to friends, to something more. I adored the settings of their letters and the ending completely blew me away. I will definitely recommend it to my friends!
