Despite how confused I was throughout the book, I think I was able to follow along well enough to at least very much understand and LOVE the ending.
Also, the cover is beautiful!

i actively do not like time travel and sci fi as a whole isnt something i gravitate towards, but oh gods did i adore this book. my most prevalent annotation was just "AAAA". im not joking, i probably wrote it at least 20 times.
the twist at the end was admittedly one i saw coming (i guessed it by the second letter) but i could not figure out how it worked so it was still interesting and shocking when it did get revealed.
per my adult/minor relationship cw:
Spoiler
one of the main characters (Red; an adult) travels back in time and kisses the other main character (Blue) who was a child at the time with romantic intent and for other more spoilery reasons. this comes at the end of the novella after the two have already fallen in love and confessed when they are adults. while Blue was fine with it in the future/present when she realizes it was Red, she did not consent or know what was happening when she was a child. i added the cw because this made me feel a bit iffy and i felt like it could have been resolved another way. it was literally only a paragraph or two thoughfav quotes:
"[i am] yours as i review your words by their sequence, their sound, smell, taste, taking care no one memory of them becomes too worn"
"i want to meet you in every place i have loved"
"there was, i am sure, a time i did not know you. or did i dream that me, as i've so often dreamed of you?"
"i'll be all the poets, i'll kill them all and take each ones place in turn, and every time love's written in all the strands it will be to you"
