A compelling story. People doing their best with the lot they are given. Docking some stars for stereotypical portrayals of Black people and Korean people. Troubling at some parts, but I found myself sympathetic to the plight of the characters. I struggled to get through the end because I knew how it ended, but the first 3/4 of the book went by very quickly.

Really interesting premise to a book that even talked about some potential genetics of time travel. I didn't love the writing, but the story was good.

An amazing story about a girl who meets her future husband during one of his time jumps -- and about all the future encounters between them. He later, unfortunately, dies during one of the jumps. An amazing love story, sweet, some spicy parts.
