Lovely time-travelly book
It's not but you'll find out when you read it. Great plotting and nice resolution while saying something serious about addiction. Realy liked it, well worth the read.

Nice ideas about time travel. Cliche characters and over-used tropes. Some nice scenes but the pacing was wrong and I just couldn't care less about the characters.

I had to subtract a star for structure, even though I sorta got why the author did it this way. It's never not going to annoy me, and yes that's my problem, but maybe I'm not alone in finding it too much trouble to actually track. Eventually it clarified without making me blow a gasket. I'll credit Wendig with that. He makes good characters, and characters are what make a story for me.
Still, it took me a long time to read, in part because it's memorable enough that I could hop in and out and remember things, but in part because I suspected where it had to go. However, some of what happens is surprising. Our protagonist(s) is(are) so derailed from "normal" as to be his own genre of human. And, well, the box. It complicates things.

A delightfully convoluted and twisty tale of a man who has made many mistakes in life - and now he has a way of travelling back in time 10 minutes. What could possibly go wrong... eh?
