I was expecting a time travel book and I wasn't in the mood for it (reading for book club). Boy, what a pleasant surprise! It's not a time travel book but a book with some time travel in it. And what an ending! I love when things come full circle! It has some flaws but I enjoyed the ride enough to ignore that.

I loved the concept of the book. The time traveling could have been clearer and improved upon. I feel that a lot of descriptions were quite surface level, even down to how the characters physical appearance was described. I would of loved for the characters to have been more fleshed out, because they all seemed incredibly interesting and would’ve loved to have known more. Other than that, I really enjoyed this book, I thought it was perfect for some light, enjoyable reading.

this book was REALLY good. it was extremely well written, had interesting concepts with big ideas that actually come together, and the author didn’t bite off more than he could chew.

it’s hard to talk about how much i appreciated this book without spoiling it a bit so i wont but just trust me!! it’s a fun read for literally anyone

I wanted so badly to love this, but maybe I wasn’t in the right slave for this book. Ended up skipping an entire chapter, and then speed read the last 20%
