It was exquisitely written especially for a concept that is very out there and you don’t often betrayed in the media which also made it a very refreshing read. The idea of starting at the end of a relationship and finishing at the beginning really makes you use your mind to figure out what went wrong but it is also as if the work was done for you and you didn’t need to do much thinking. Additionally, the characters are also phenomenal as the portrayal of mental health not just in main characters but also side characters makes you think about the people around you and I love how it was a central part of the book not just something that’s was touched upon unlike many other books; the main character was also just super likeable which is a trait I enjoyed! Would definitely read something like this again and cannot wait to find something like this. 
BE VERY WARE OF TRIGGER WARNINGS

There's something about love stories that are just a love story. There are love stories about great, timeless loves that know no bounds, but there's something even better about love stories that end in full stops and unravel something more about the human experience of love and loving someone and being in love. This book captures so much of that human experience, and it bares all in the things one goes through and thinks when in (and out) of a romantic relationship. 

Although reading the story in reverse was difficult to get a hang of at first, it made the whole story feel like a memory and contributed to the whole theme of experiencing love as opposed to succeeding or failing at it.

This book was beautiful and heartbreaking and so emotionally true. I wondered how it would pull off taking you through a relationship backwards, from messy breakup to romantic meeting, but wow Hazel Hayes did it so well. After finishing it I went back and reread the first chapter just to feel it all over again, and notice all the little things I now had so much more context for. Out of Love is all bittersweet nostalgia and new perspectives, and I loved it so much.
