From start to finish, the book is a pleasure to read. The concept of reading a story backwards can take a moment to understand and I found myself getting confused at first, but works well once you settle into it. The characters were well written and I loved the unravelling of context as the story goes on.
So why not 5 stars? I found that the book lost me a tad in the middle. I was very invested for the first half of the book and the last few chapters, but I did feel the book really slowed down for a while. I wonder if that's because starting with something as significant as a breakup means the story can only wind down. Regardless, I would highly recommend this book to anybody.

The reverse aspect was very interesting and almost fun in a way because something would be referenced that you didn't know about and then down the line you would learn the origin.
Overall it was an interesting concept and a "fun" read.
