This is by far the best book I have had the pleasure of reading so far this year. The time travel aspect was taken on in such a new and creative way that not only felt natural to the charater of joe, but to the world In a whole. The plot, while relatively simple on a whole, was filled with mystery and intrigue and left me wanting more at the end of every page; and the twist that occurred during chapter 27 I truly did not see coming! The fact that there are three more books in this series has left me over joyed knowing that the story continues on.
Moderate: Dementia, Kidnapping, Grief, and Death of parent
Minor: Suicide

I like this book, a solid 4 star read for me. Cozy time travel story, a bit predictable, no villain, single minded plot. I felt a sense of dejavu with the plot though.
MC Joe also can “see” things from objects, this psychometry is very similar with another book “The Dig” by Michael Siemsen. The rest 25% of the book reminds me of scenes from “The Time Traveller’s Wife” by Audrey Niffeneger where Alba travels to the future to watch her parents. Then the end when “Bill” shows up to invite Joes for the Magical Mystery Tour Group, feels awfully similar with Nick Fury inviting Tony Stark to build the Avengers. All jumbled into one :) I don't mind though, still a good read, I will be continuing with this series.
