this has one of the best writing I have ever come across with. i really enjoyed the way their relationship blossomed, the longing for each other despite their differences in timeline and values—and how they overcome it—was truly magnificent. the 3 star rating, although a bit low since what i've written are nothing but rave reviews, was because of the disconnect that i felt at some plot points of the story. the physics aspect was not something that i did find enjoyable to read. don't get me wrong, i love science (i have a degree in biology, just wanna share) but i guess those technical terms just didn't sit with me. let's just say, i didn't care about them as much as I did with the romance of the book and the writing per se.

it was still a good read, and the sapphic energy from this book made me feel hopeful and happy.

i recommend this book to people who want 1.) something short 2.) fans of Call Me By Your Name and the feels and 3.) those who are interested with penpal romances 4.) people who want to look for a romance read that's a little bit different and not trope heavy.
