David Arnold's novels always promise a journey into the unknown, filled with abstract twists that leave readers pondering. It's this enigmatic quality that draws me to his work time and again—the freedom to interpret and explore.

The premise of this book is truly captivating—a song serving as the cosmic thread linking soulmates across time, with Evan and Shosh embodying this connection in the present. Their individual griefs intertwine, creating a poignant dynamic where they find solace and understanding in each other's company.

While I found myself engrossed in Evan and Shosh's personal journeys, I yearned for a deeper exploration of their evolving relationship. As a romance, I anticipated a more substantial portrayal of their connection on the page, craving a deeper dive into their chemistry and growth as a couple.

Although the intermittent glimpses into other romances added a poetic layer to the narrative, I couldn't shake the feeling that some of these side stories detracted from the central focus on Evan and Shosh. While it added to the book's overall thematic depth, I wondered if streamlining these subplots would have allowed for a more immersive exploration of the protagonists' relationship.

Ultimately, this book offers a unique take on romance—one that delves into existential themes and challenges conventional notions of love. If you're seeking a romance that prompts introspection and philosophical musings, look no further than this intriguing tale.
