HoLY SHIT! Damm. This book doesn't miss. Every time you think you have something figured out: you don't. While most of the characters don't develop beyond their box, Kelly and Jen become something else entirely. They start off in the box but evolve into their own complex characters with backstories you'd never think of. Truly a time travel story thats both new and exciting! My only qualm (which doesn't effect the actual story which is why it doesn't effect the score) is that a lot of the book throws in British slang and as an American its hard to understand.

I thought this book was really inventive and unique. I’m impressed by all the things the author must’ve had to keep track of to avoid plot holes in this format.

It was maybe a bit long or dragging at times but I think everything was also necessary? And it still kept my interest. I actually stayed up late because I had to know how it ended. 

What I didn’t really like:

1) I feel like this book was copaganda. The police are criticized for a large portion of the book but Surprise! in the end they were the good guys all along. 2) I didn’t love the way it focused a lot on “mom guilt”. (But that eventually resolved.)

I definitely didn’t expect the Ending (plot resolution) [well, part of it became clear over the course of the book, but part of it was a complete surprise to me at least] or the ending (epilogue).

(Which was kind of a cliffhanger)

I thought it was kind of neat that she forgets everything in the end.

Random silly observation: I love how the narrator did the American accent of the physicist lol. 

If you don’t mind following a complicated Memento-like plot, this is a really great book.

Excellent mystery that kept me guessing with the solid character building and relationships of a literary fiction. There were some big twists I didn’t see coming which is impressive.
