Myrtle and Matthew are two halves of one whole but they don't know it yet. As we follow them through their lives from birth, with chapters alternating between Myrtle and Matthew, I found myself holding my breath in anticipation several times as their paths so very nearly crossed. As the tension built of 'almost' and 'so very nearly', I willed the stars to align so that the pair would meet and be hit by the proverbial thunderbolt. Feeling sad as the years progressed and Myrtle and Matthew still hadn't met, Natalie Winter reminded us not to dwell on the missed years but rather to accept that maybe they will meet exactly when they're supposed to.
I think because we meet the two main characters as they are born, I really felt as if I was part of their lives. We're present for all of their trials and tribulations, the highs and lows of their lives and privy to their personal insecurities. Neither of them realise how special they are and I do think that this type of insecurity transmits a virtual signal deterring would be mates. Of course when the right person comes along, the 'I'm not worthy' signal magically stops transmitting and everything becomes right with the world. I'm speaking from experience here, which is why Myrtle and Matthew's story resonated so strongly with me; it took long enough but thankfully it didn't take me quite so long to find my other half.
So very highly recommended, do not miss this book especially if you love books by David Nicholls and Jojo Moyes. The Moments actually affected me more than One Day and Me Before You and I really can't praise Natalie Winter highly enough. If this is her debut, I really can't wait to see what she writes next.
Written so beautifully, The Moments is undoubtedly a 5 star book but this simply does not suffice; it deserves to be awarded every star in the universe. This scintillating book touched both my heart and soul and is most definitely my favourite book of the year; it's so good that I could read it all over again right now.
I chose to read an ARC and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.… (altro)
