Loved this. Written beautifully but it took me a while as you really need to stay focussed all the time 🙈

Double timelines double perspectives. Have something in common (a book) which you know will unite them just a question of how and when. Honestly felt like I just reread cloud kookoo land. Wasn't exciting just happened
