![]() ![]() ![]() Levithan leaves a lot unsaid, but the narrative never feels incomplete the non-linear format leaves the reader wholly encompassed by the relationship. The slender book chronicles a relationship between a first-person narrator and an unnamed (and un-gendered) “you.” The story is non-linear, jumping between the couple moving in together, the first few dates, the possible break-up, and the everyday realities, some mundane, some extraordinary, of a long-term relationship. ![]() Sometimes it’s even there when you thought you were searching for something else, like an escape route, or your lover’s face. It stands the distance, ready for whenever you want it back. And if the moment does pass, it never goes that far. If the moment doesn’t pass, that’s it-you’re done. There has to be a moment at the beginning when you wonder whether you’re in love with the person or in love with the feeling of love itself. ![]()
