There’s a lot of underlying themes about grief and mental health that was unexpected but handled with care.
The mystery of Joseph Carter kept me intrigued. At times though I was getting a little frustrated on how there were more questions than answers as the story got going that was I was beginning to lose interest a few times. I’m really glad I stuck with it, especially as I got to buddy read it with a friend, which I found helpful to keep going (it was fun coming up with theories as to what was happening, with my theory being it was a whole “Time Traveler’s Wife” situation). The more the story progressed though and pieces started to come together, the results broke my heart.
This is really a book you have to go into blind because just giving the smallest detail or reaction is a spoiler on its own. I will say though, read it and read it to the end. It all comes to together quite beautifully.

Also really hated that not taking no for an answer was rewarded with "getting the girl" at the end.

Still a wonderful book, and it was a great emotional rollercoaster to be on.
I also like that the ending matched the timeline of our own world too.
