I absolutely loved the writing and i was engaged from page 1. that rarely happens with me. I adore clare and henry. and the book was a warm embrace during this winter time. i loved everything about clare and i can't stop thinking about her. the ending made me bawl. actually, there were several moments when i cried. the writing is really evocative and genuinely pulls on your heartstrings. it's great.
this is a slice of life book with a time travelling twist and i genuinely felt like i just read about a couple's life who existed somewhere in the other corner of the world. somehow it doesn't lose it's grip at all. you want to know everything these characters are feeling. the environment is so vivid, clare feels so tangible - her emotions as real as mine. audrey's writing is filled with empathy and love for her characters. she writes their lives like she's writing of some old ancestors who she longs to know about. this is such a good book.
some minor nitpicks that just irked me a tiny bit - the gomez sidestory, not enough development for charisse's character, revealing a key information about henry's future without much heft, and henry's behavior with ingrid.
i loved it and i can't wait to just pick it up at random and read read what clare and henry are up to. it's happening all at once.
it's a light to decent 9 for me.

Loved this book so much, I refused to watch the movie because I didn't want to ruin my mind's eye version.

I finished this book in less than 6 hours. Call me sentimental, but I couldn't help but adore the fact that it took place in the same stomping-grounds I haunted in Chicago. It is a romantic tale that isn't so overly sappy that it makes me feel like I'm playing into traditional gender roles or complete heteronormativity. It's by no means a complicated novel, but it's not overly simple either -- the twists and time shifts give it just the right amount of oddness to keep one interested.
Was getting serious Lake House vibes with a healthy dose of 12 Monkeys and Interstellar thrown in. This showed up on one of my upcoming adaptations lists due to the HBO series and I have no idea how they will pull it off visually.
i wish i was a time traveler’s wife, so she could come back in time and tell me not to read this book.
#audiobook had this book in my bookshelf for years but never got the motivation to read it. Luckily, with audiobook now it is finally read. Like the idea, don’t entirely buy into the time travelling part. And the whole middle aged man visiting and cavorting with an adolescent girl just gave me the ick.
