Review: This love-story is told from the perspective of aptly named Lucy ("Luz"), who is re-visiting her entire relationship with her lover and friend, Gabe. The story presents us with a series of vignettes, snapshots of their relationship over the course of a decade. It reads like a collection of diary entries, or maybe an epistolary novel, though the chapters aren't letters but rather reflective monologues addressing Gabe. The tone is mature, questioning, nostalgic and philosophical in parts but never self-indulgent or narcissistic. It questions what constitutes the essence of a person, of meaningful relationships and reflects on the role of choice vs. fate and the importance of the priorities we set and their timing. A thoroughly engaging read.

Review: Perhaps loved by most, not so much for me. Self-absorbed narrative that I found insanely irritating. I still ploughed on through the end. If the protagonist was a man, I'm sure there'd be far less people who liked the book.
