Review: HOW WONDERFUL IT WAS BEING IN LOVE WITH YOU by Emilio Vass

What is love?

For a 25-year old army cadet, it all started in 1976 and he meets “the girl with the notebook.”

Poetic and lyrical, yet full of vague meaning, this story almost reads like a Dr. Seuss book in the topic of love. You don’t actually meet any of the characters as the author merely uses them as tools in this experiment called “love.”

Episodes were snippets in this experimentation. No segment ever dives into too much detail and what the reader does receive is a blasé didactic monologue.

There were some well-defining parts in the writing, but the story wasn’t what I anticipated.


My rating: 2.5 stars
