The Time Traveler's Wife
Tear jerker warning. Have tissues handy!
Henry is a time traveler. It's not really as glamorous as you'd think. See, he has a genetic problem where he becomes, essentially, lost in time. Not only that, but he becomes lost in time completely nude.
Clare is his, well, everything. She knows him her entire life, although he only meets her when she's twenty. But they fall in love because they have to.
I want to say that this is a fluffy chick lit book, but it really isn't. It's emotional and difficult. The writing style is a little difficult, with the point of view often changing between Henry and Clare and their many different ages. But it's romance and sci-fi kind of all wrapped together.
My husband would have had a field day trying to tell me that this or that isn't possible because of the space-time continuum, but I don't care. It's a book, it's fiction, and it's a great story.
