Five-star spice *hot damn* with three-star story *explain it to me like I'm 4 please*

I get that this book is celebrated for its mix of genres, but that makes it kind of confusing to read...and ultimately not meant for any specific reader... It's a chaotic blend of sci-fi, thriller, espionage, and romance. It was like each genre had a a little sliver... 100% had no idea what was happening with the time travel technology and wish I could have read it in a book club so people could have explained things to me. Reminded me of that movie Tenet.

All I know is that I've never been more invested in a side romance plot. Probably some of the best spice I've ever read. I think I stopped breathing while reading it.

Its hard to review this book because there were moments when I loved it so deeply and was moved by the absolutely beautiful writing and emotion, but also I was incredibly confused most of the time. 

All the characters had so many names I found it hard to keep track of, which mixed with time travel I lost interest in the main plot. The relationship between characters is interesting but feels half baked at times 

I wanted to love it but given that I put off finishing it for weeks I don't think I can give it more than 2 stars sadly

A beautiful novel — it’s about “time travel” but you discover that changing the past and the future is something only we can do through forgiveness and hope

i thought this was boring and i didn't really like the characters, the plot wasn't that engaging to hold my interest.
