Genuinely, one of the most enjoyable reads I’ve had in a while. I take months with books, and yet I set aside time to finish the majority of this within a week. The storytelling, while on a surface level seeming all over the place, is genius and charismatic, and continually re contextualises scenes you read a few pages ago. The characters and their relationships are understood by the reader on such a fundamental level without the author having to write entire essays on the nature of their beings. By the end of the book, I get why people say it’s a book about love but not a romance book - simply put, it’s about two people destined to be intertwined intimately, in both their work and personal lives.
