Would I recommend this for a long car ride? No.
Quiet day at home? Most definitely.

To some extent, what matters is the narration, which is fantastic by all accounts; there are moments where I had goosebumps because the narration was so good. Hands down would say it's fantastic just on that alone.

But I loved the mix of very much in the pop culture psyche and things I'd never heard before. Hearing the sonnets at the beginning was a marvelous and quite a familiar feeling of nostalgia. But on the other hand, there were short stories I had never heard before that depicted love in different forms and how it can grow and change, and I found them enrapturing as I listened.

This book is sweet as candy and timeless, much as the title states.
