newswoman's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 60%

from the introduction of the love interest onwards i felt a gradual decline in my enjoyment of the book as i am not a fan of how the romance is written at all. i really liked the beginning a lot but the the main character is very hard to like in my opinion, which gets worse and worse as the story progresses.

i was WAY more into this than i thought i would be. i was thinking about this book at work and i made myself carsick reading it on a road trip.
 it’s got very strong male energy for reasons i cannot fully place but overall i don’t have very many criticisms besides the fact i didn’t really like the ending. i appreciated the sadness of it, but it didn’t hit me quite as hard as i feel like it could have
super interesting take on time travel, i loved the characters, it felt well informed and thought out in incredible depth.
very first steven king novel also!

update from later i think about this book all the time and i really struggled to pick what rating i wanted to give this one. its got 4.75 right now but im reallly teetering on the edge of 5 stars rn
