      I fucking love This is How You Lose the Time War

      The prose is beautiful and there are some parts of the book that felt like they were written for me

      If you want to read it I'd only recommend reading it and not listening via audio book. I recommended it to a friend that tried that and the formatting isn't the best for audio

        Yeah it's great, I feel like that Sapphic sappho fatalism is missing from too many romances honestly.

        I skipped the audiobook myself, shame it's not great...

          It might be okay if you've already read the book but it kinda makes sense the letters format isn't the best as audio :/

            Which sucks because the epistolary format is one of my fav things about it too...

        Just read this! Yes, the prose was beautiful and I found myself falling for both characters. Had a lot of trouble following the time travel elements but they were secondary anyway.
