Fuck this book, fuck its author, and fuck the people who enjoy it. I had the extreme pleasure of listening to the audiobook on Libby, so not only did I hear the racially insensitive depictions of Black, Korean, and Filipina characters, but I got to hear the bullshit accents and speech patterns the readers thought appropriate for them. 
To get to the meat of this extremely boring book that I listened to on 2x speed (down from 18 hours to 9), it was a tale of a time-traveling man and how he met and fell in love with his wife. Now, let me note: He was 8 years her senior when they met in the present, which is fine. However, when they began their relationship, HE WAS IN HIS FORTIES AND SHE WAS SIX. And no, there wasn’t sex or  romance THEN, but it’s grooming. It’s fucking grooming. He played with her and helped her with her homework and shit. God I hate this. Oh my god.
