I can not fathom what I read and it might take a while to sink in. What i can say for sure is that it was a compelling read. From the start it had my attention till the very end (where it lost me).
The premise is very interesting and something i have'nt read in any other book. But half way through it got repetitive and Natalie (whom I loved right from the start) started to annoy me. The eerie almost paranormal and science fiction aspects were pretty well developed and are what made me continue reading, but the romance was... weird. And that might just be a me thing because I do NOT like the insta love trope at all, also the fact that they did not seem to have any chemistry.
What I absolutely loved though and has no complaints about was the writing. Ah, the writing. Emily Henry needs to write more books like these.
