Leste 1/3 av boka in one sitting og tbh fikk ikke lyst til å ta den opp igjen. I mean intriguing konsept, men karakterene var flate og ingen av dem made it worth to keep reading.

This was a fun time-travel puzzle. I liked it a lot.
You ever pick up a book and read it, and realize that it’s not what you expected, but you’re totally loving it anyway? This is exactly my experience with this book.
This book has most everything that you can want in a story – murder, mystery, time travel, (surprise) lesbians, and romance. This book has one of the most well written time travel stories I have ever read, and I need more people to read this book so that it can eventually be made into a TV show, because it definitely deserves it.
The story, since it is about time travel, takes place in many different time periods, with stories intertwining in a common middle ground where everything converges. The earliest point of the story is fifty years prior to said middle ground, in a past where four female scientists have actually created time travel. Not only created it, they’ve perfected it and made it safe to use. And fifty years later, time travel is a common part of life. Not everybody can do it, because that would be disastrous. But there is a specialized group of people who basically work with time travel. We’ll call these people The Time Police, for the sake of this review. The Time Police use their time traveling to do two things particularly well – they solve unexplained murders before they happen, and they conserve extinct species in a specialized lab. It should be noted that the users cannot time travel beyond the fifty years when time traveling was created, because they need a time travel unit to be able to travel back to their home-time. So people can only travel as far as time travel exists into the past or future (it is semi-implied that there is a future beyond what they can access, but it’s never really gone into).
The main story revolves around three main female characters – one of the women who invented time travel, her granddaughter who she is very close to and falls in love with a time traveller, and a new member of The Time Police who joins in an effort to help solve a murder she was witness to.
What I love about this book, without giving away too much about it, is that it has a very clever way of touching on themes such as racism (one of the characters if second generation Seychelloies), death, trauma, and narcissism (and how deadly it can be). The story is incredibly enthralling and written very very very well. It honestly took me through twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting, and I loved every second of it.
If you’re looking for a good, thought-provoking read, this is definitely the book for you. I give it a full 5/5 and recommend it so highly. Please grab a copy of the book (especially this version because the cover art is so pretty).

Fun, quirky book. I enjoyed the ideas about the, er, psychology of time travel. Was the conclusion that you ought to be messed up by time travel and if you weren't, then actually that should worry you more? The time travel art was cool - playing on the mindboggling metaphysics of it. The mystery was good too, and I appreciated the way all the stories were interlinked.

(2019) Super interesting premise but terrible execution. I had several issues with this book so I put it down.
