Beijing Comrades

The experiences of the main couple felt familiar.
Especially their anxieties and jealousies - this novel is like a mirror to me...
It doesn't have ludicrous plots or farfetched twists. The agony and ecstasy are balanced.

Finished it in one sitting, couldn't put it down.

maybe i'll reread it again, but after learning that the author was most likely a woman and that this is basically just a fujoshi melodrama, i'm not sure if i ever want to revisit it.
