This book lives up to its hype! It’s a relentlessly fast-paced and nerve-wracking time travel and alternate reality thriller that explores memories and identities.

Marcus Slade is the most memorable character for me. I think he’s the smartest of them all. 

There’s a lot to keep track of with the shifting timelines, and at some point, even feels exhausting, but I still enjoyed the book a lot. Plus points for the tender and touching moments in the book.
