daniellekat's review against another edition

SO BORING. The writing is dull, the characters are flat and one dimensional, and the plot was very meh.  This very much feels like a classic debut novel to me - overdeveloped plot with underdeveloped writing.

The Psychology of Time Travel was a gripping character-driven read. Mascarenhas deftly used the time travel component to make a really fascinating murder mystery that left me constantly revising my theory of who did it. The queer romance was icing on the cake.
