Came for the witty romance and time travel, left with an overwhelming sense of dread about the climate crisis. If that's something that keeps you up at night, I cannot recommend this.

There are times where I felt lost but overall a very strong book. There’s obviously lots of media surrounding time travel, but rarely one that takes a deep dive into what significance time travel may hold culturally.
