Reading this the same weekend as watching Meet Cute on Peacock made for the perfect Time Traveling weekend. If I think too long about the details and logistics, I have several questions, so similar to a quote in the book, it’s great if I don’t weaken it.
This is also one of the few books that discusses the pandemic in a way that doesn’t annoy me. Maybe it’s because we’re a little further out from March 2020, but it felt responsible and relatable as future pandemics are addressed. I also enjoyed the connections between wildly different people and centuries.
The book starts with Edwin in British Columbia observing a change to his routine that didn’t make sense. About a century later, the book introduces Mirella, a woman concerned for the whereabouts of a missing friend, only to run into a man from her past who was a puzzle even then. Then, we meet Olive — an author living in a moon colony visiting earth the same time as talks of an illness is booming in Australia.
Without giving too much away, I enjoyed examining the implications of time traveling and the perspective that it’s a bit narcissistic to think the end of times are in the current reality, despite all the other possibilities. Also, it’s funny to think that in 2400, cursive is viewed as a foreign language.

I really don’t like how the author writes and won’t be reading more of her books

Wow, what a book. I always have deep respect for the writers who can create entire worlds in under 300 pages. I finished this book in two days but it feels like I spent weeks in this universe. The story is really masterfully crafted.
