Key Themes:
Mental Health, Grief, Friendship, Death.
Best (or Worst) Moments:
I found the best moments were those viewed from Audette's POV - just found it more interesting with the murder and mystery solving, and she had an agenda and clear goals which also helped.
Was this Book What I Expected?:
No - with it being called ‘the psychology of time travel’ I expected it to focus even more on psychology. I’m an MSc Psychology student so obviously love psychology so I think I would have enjoyed the book even more if it went into more detail about the actual psychology behind it all - not just basic ‘she would have had those mental health problems without time travel’. I know there was some explanation but just felt it wasn’t enough - but maybe that would be too much for someone without a background in psychology?
Review:
This book was okay - I enjoyed it but it just wasn’t what I was expecting and it kind of disappointed me as a result.
Things to Research Further
The concept of how time travel could impact a person psychologically is so interesting - obviously not applicable until time-travel is a thing but would be such an interesting topic to study.
