"There is something so beautifully slippery about this film. The narrative skips, slides, and loops; you're forced to hold on to the characters as you’re propelled through the film. Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung circle around each other, so vulnerable and captivating. You yearn to get closer to them, to stay longer with them, but the film slips through your fingers the way their love slips through theirs. All that’s left is for Leung to whisper his love into ears of ancient stone, hoping it stays on this earth. I watched a print of the film a few years ago in Los Angeles. When the credits began to roll, something within me broke, and I cried and cried and cried."

I enjoyed reading this. It was both intriguing, waiting to find out what Maggie had done in the past, and heartbreaking when we did find out.

I liked the journey we went on with her going from someone who used sex as a weapon to someone who started to believe she may just be strong enough and brave enough to embrace love and what Asher was offering her if she wanted it.

Speaking of, I liked Asher from the off. Will was a little harder to like at the start but he grows on you easily as the story progresses and you realise just what he'd been willing to do to keep her a year ago.

It should definitely be read by fans of the genre.
