My Thoughts

I’m torn with THE TIME TRAVELER’S WIFE. I enjoyed the story, but the ending kind of ruined it for me. I thought the premise was intriguing and fun. I wanted to know how the story turned out.

I really loved both Henry and Clare. I loved their connection to one another. I thought Henry’s disorder made for some interesting situations between them. I felt sorry for both of them because of the time they missed with one another due to his impairment. I also loved that knowing they’d have those absences, they tried to make their moments together count.

I hated the ending. It bugged me that Henry told Clare not to wait for him after he died, but then told her that he sees her when she was 82. Of course she was going to wait for him. She had been waiting for him for her entire life. He just needed to let it happen like so many other things did during their life so she could’ve moved on and found happiness after his death.
