Hazel hayes books5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() Each chapter moves backwards in time, but they’re not strictly moored to one time, if that makes sense. The narrative trick is cool, but it runs the risk of becoming gimmicky. That’s not a dealbreaker for me, as I love The Last Five Years, but it does keep me from being totally won over by the novel as it never feels entirely original.įor much of its pagetime, Out of Love doesn’t do anything that The Last Five Years doesn’t (and arguably does less, as the musical provides POV from both its leads, but Out of Love leaves Theo’s perspective out of it). ![]() While Out of Love does do a few things differently thematically, it never truly breaks from that comparison. When I read the summary of Out of Love, my first thought was “This sounds like The Last Five Years.” Even the timeline is basically the same. ![]()
