Initially, I was drawn in by the beautiful cover art and the promise of a sweeping love story from the synopsis.
While I feel like I did get that out of the story...it also felt like a chore. The story as a whole is an incredibly slow-paced journey to get to a rather lack-luster ending. I have more questions than answers and I think if I'd gotten more out of the end, I wouldn't have felt like the pacing wasn't so monotonous.
I can appreciate the poetic, complex story-telling and how the character's individual stories were woven together. I absolutely adored getting to know Evan, his family's dynamic, and his friendship with Ali.
Overall, I found I Loved You in Another Life beautiful-written and deeply heart-felt. The characters were easy to fall in love with and intriguing. I just wish it wasn't such a chore to fully enjoy.
