I could NOT put this book down!! I am a sucker for a good time travel story and this one was just phenomenal. It went beyond the usual time-travel butterfly effect thing and had some really good twists, which was really fun. (No spoilers here!)

What I loved
- I listed to the audiobook and the narration by Craig Wasson was just spectacular.
- I was really transported to another time and place and fully immersed in a bygone era.
- While many people see the lat 50s and 60s as a "better time," it really only was if you belonged to a certain race, class, and sexuality. These topics are addressed thoughtfully.
- I learned a lot about near American history! Yes, this is a work of fiction, but a great deal of the events told did occur and an enormous amout of research went into this work.

What I didn't like
- Really, I can't think of much I didn't like! Highly, highly recommend!
