Fans of This is how you lose the time war would enjoy this one!

It was an interesting concept but sometimes the pace was slow. I felt like it was building up to a big moment that never happened. It had a good plot twist, however I felt more connected to Beth than Tess -- there should've been more from her emotionally. 

An opportunity was missed to flesh out the characters/plot/world-building which was a shame. I feel like we could've learned more from the future, although the fact that we didn't could be the author's very warning against time travel and meddling with time.

4.0

Not a strong start to this book but I am glad I stuck with it. I loved the exploration of collective vs individual action and I always love the wonkiness of time traveling in a story. The whole punk scene is not my vibe so I wouldn’t say I enjoyed those parts, but it made sense in the context. I felt like the ending was clean and clear, nothing vague and confusing. 

Overall, I enjoyed it! Though I did the audiobook and the narrator’s voice was not my favorite.

elishasbookreview's review against another edition

This book is hard-hitting for the current times we're in. I think the summary I read on my library's page was way over simplified. I was expecting something different I guess. This is toxic feministic in a way that's hard to handle for me.

This book is Radical Feminism and time travel. If that seems interesting to you, you will likely enjoy this book. If it doesn't, you will not.
