It is REALLY enjoyable rereading in certainty and picking up on all the careful clues! It's such a well-crafted book.
Yeah, I mean, the one way the structure does a disservice is that because we don't get the reveal about Forrest until the end, Annabel can't tell us any of the reasons she actually likes him -- we only see him by his actions in the text, and those are .... not great, actually. Maybe he does have other, sterling qualities we don't see, but who knows? Not the reader!
