Out of Love by Hazel Hayes7/4/2023 ![]() ![]() This is a very contemporary tale, full of the honesty of relationships and attractions of all kinds. This honest and painful account of love gone wrong actually becomes lighter as the book goes on, as the dialogue of the couple is full of the possibilities of new love. Both have come from families who have coped with difficulties, and the narrator perhaps comes to realise just how significant these issues on both sides. ![]() Theo has issues with his mother, who proves to be a dominating and difficult woman. The narrator whose voice we hear throughout has past experiences that will affect the relationship, including extreme anxiety. It features the relationship from the point of view of a young woman who has a particular set of experiences, as she falls in love with Theo who seems to be so special, eager to plan for the future they will have together. The conceit is clever, as it at first presents all the factors that cause the ending of the relationship and goes on to show exactly where they came from. What makes it remarkable is that the book begins with the break up, in all its mess, misunderstanding and mistakes, and ends with the first meeting. This is a remarkable book telling the story of a relationship, from beginning to end, from first date until the final break up. ![]()
