First, I must mention that I don't read novels in this genre. So, I’m not the best person to give a review. I also rarely watch romantic films. So it took me a while to adjust to this fantasy romance novel, as well as to its soft, feathery writing. But I want to say, it’s nice to read something outside the familiar genres from time to time. And I want to thank Laura for this.

The synopsis might seem complicated - a love story between a human and an immortal, but the writing style and execution made everything seem so simple and flawless. It boils down to the characters being soulmates, and that their connection extends beyond death and existence. Every woman who’d read this would wish someone like Alex exists in their life. I also like that he’s a painter (that's why the background in the photo are my paintings hihi). Although the genres are very different, there are elements of this novel that reminds me of that Mike Cahill 2014 film, I, Origins.

I liked this story because I am fascinated as well by past lives. I’ve read at the back of the book about Laura mentioning she had glimpses of her past lives in some of her meditation sittings. I make sense of this whole reincarnation thing as our souls being water and our bodies being a container, and we just get passed on from one container to another in this long stream of life.

While this novel falls outside of the genres I usually enjoy, I’ll still be very interested on Laura’s future works and see how she will put her own interesting spin in the romance genre. And I will read it again.
