This is an amazing book that I would recommend to anyone who likes unusual love stories. I like how the story has pauses where we can give advice to Ian, the main character. It feels like we're talking to him and helping him think. Reading this book felt like watching a movie.

The author’s imagination when it comes to small details is definitely a plus. The way she talks about music is very touching and resonated with me.

The passage in Anna’s diary where she tells how they met is extremely captivating. I love it! The story is very, very, very interesting and suspenseful; I couldn’t stop reading. And the writing is so fluid, I didn’t even notice myself turning the pages! For someone who doesn’t necessarily like to read, I am enjoying it very much! [...]
The age gap between the characters is interesting because it is often the woman who is younger. Men often marry women half their age, but the opposite is frowned upon! [...]
And I loved this quote: “Don’t talk with your mouth open. Remember that some things are better left unsaid until the right moment to use them arises.”

The style is mesmerizing and serves the purpose of the book perfectly: immersing the reader in the psychology and intimacy of two ordinary individuals experiencing common misunderstandings, ultimately leading to an extraordinary collapse of their love.
A love story, unfinished; shattered portraits; subtle nuances in feelings and emotions; two individuals you feel the urge to jump into the book to shake awake — Black Hole will certainly touch you deeply and will most likely resonate within your own love life.

This novel is a profound exploration of perception and its impact on our understanding of reality. It emphasizes that what we perceive is not absolute truth, but a subjective interpretation shaped by our experiences, emotions, and cultural context. I appreciated how the author underlines the influence of internal factors—such as beliefs and cognitive biases—on how we interpret the world around us. The book also questions the reliability of our senses, suggesting that reality may extend beyond the limits of human perception. It's a thought-provoking read that challenges how we define and experience the world.

Who knows how we make decisions regarding love? In this insightful study of a relationship and the two participants stuck in an orbit around each other, sometimes, we learn, consequences can happen before actions, effects can precede cause, emotions can be complicated by reason, what ifs can become more important than what is.
Recommended for those who want to understand how love is more than attraction and self is more than sharing. Sensitive to many sides of the equation, riding empathy all the way to an inspiring end, one walks away with a better understanding of orbital emotions.
