The fact that Henry and Claire met when she was 6 years old made me pretty uncomfortable throughout most of the novel; I found myself struggling to accept their relationship as, like, not weird and gross for pretty much most of the story. However, towards the end I was still feeling the reservation, however, I still empathized with the relationship. If that makes sense.
I found myself comparing this book to One Day by David Nicholls. Both are a sort of disastrously troubled romance and then both end in an inevitable tragedy. Both are absolutely heartwrenching, but I think the fact that you sort of know what's going to happen the whole book makes this one just so much more heartbreaking. Definitely less of the shock factor than with One Day, but I feel like, just, jeez wow. Especially because there's lowkey a moment where you're like omg maybe it won't happen but then you're like oh never mind it probably will... then okay shit yeah it most definitely will and the fact that it's just a matter of when is so devastating anyways ...
Anyways I am sad once again

I’ve read this a couple of times. It’s beautiful and heartbreaking. I remember the first time I picked it up, not really interested, just perusing the first page. Then I couldn’t put it down.

Much better then the movie adaptation. It's a great story with a unique voice.

An interesting concept. That said, the characters are often hard to like to care about what happens to them in the end. I wanted to like this book - the concept is, as I said, brilliantly executed but the character development fails to make me care.
