Time travel books generally make my head hurt, but I got through this one to the end without having any questions, although I admit the circular nature of time travel did get confusing at the very end. But because of that confusion, I’m now wondering a whole lot of new questions regarding the future rather than how-in-the-worlds, which are the normal questions I struggle with when confronted by this circuity. It wasn’t clever. It was even a little sad. But it was redemptive and satisfying.
Graphic: Cancer, Child death, Death, Death of parent, Classism, and Deportation

A good book. The frenchisms take a little getting used to and the presence of cars feels so out of place and anachronistic. I was expecting more exploration of the mechanics and secrets of the world, the change in direction of the second half took me by surprise.
