The physics went over my head sometimes, but it was still fun (and I appreciate any sf that actually explains some of its concepts in an appendix, referencing actual scientists and making it understandable). I also liked how it explored teenagers growing up in "problematic" neighbourhoods, police brutality and foster care, which all mixed surprisingly well with time travel.
