Admittedly, science fiction is not my go-to genre of choice, but stories with f-f romances are, so let's just split the difference.
The premise is fairly interesting, and the protagonist, Dani Barsetti, isn't super obnoxious, but the idea of time travel is always somewhat annoying because it inevitably becomes this narcissistic exploration of things going badly for the people left behind because so-and-so never existed. So while the Dani is okay, she had too much of that righteousness that I found off-putting. Doesn't help that she's also a cop.
The science fiction part was not as bad as I expected, and I wanted to see how everything would play out. And the romance wasn't a total wash. Say what I want about the Dani, she really does love her wife, and it was nice to read a story where a couple is together at the beginning of the story and there isn't another potential love interest trying to get in their way.

Robbi McCoy is a very clever writer, with a solid way with words. I’ve liked all her books so far, and some I’ve loved, especially [b:Something to Believe|8500592|Something to Believe|Robbi McCoy|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1328752830s/8500592.jpg|13366482] and [b:Two on the Aisle|10799400|Two on the Aisle|Robbi McCoy|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1357241456s/10799400.jpg|15712114]. Erased is another win for me. Yet it took me a long time to decide to read it because I’m always wary when it comes to time traveling stories. I’m dyspraxic so time is already a strange concept to me. Add to that the fact that since one has to suspend disbelief to accept the idea of time travel, anything can happen, nothing is impossible nor too crazy. So I need to be in the right mainframe for that. But I read Bethany’s review a few days ago and remembered I had this ebook, and I am so glad I did!
Both main characters are really great, I was really rooting for them and hoping they’d find their way to each other again, and that Dani would survive the whole thing. It’s sci-fi (but only because of the time travel) mixed with mystery (mostly) and romance (of course). Very well done.
