This one took a minute to fully gain my attention, but now that I've finished it I'm ready for a re-read! Strong character development on the part of Gaspery-Jacques Roberts (I will remember the name Gaspery for a while). Features time-travel and the idea that maybe our whole lives are just a simulation.

A quick read that left me still thinking - would make a good reread. The ideas of time travel and moon colonies and pandemics - lots to absorb.

Not a genre I normally read but glad I read this. Loved the premise and figuring it all out towards the end - maybe obvious to someone who reads more sci fi but was very fun for me! Also makes you think, in a good way. Keen to read her other books.

Really good! Finished it in one sitting, so I think calling it a page turner is an apt description!
