A review by amangrade
The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

5.0

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.
