I was rating it a 3 until I got to the end where there were some descriptions that really resonated with me.
3.5 I enjoyed this love story of father and daughter but ultimately felt it was too long. Emma provides an afterword of sorts that explains how the book came to be and that was a lovely addition to the story.
This book really snuck up on me and I ultimately kind of loved it. Definitely had some derivative / schmaltzy parts, but ultimately a well-written, thoughtful, and funny book.
This is a time travel book about a daughter of an author of a time travel book. It's very meta.
Though time traveling is a big part of the book, the time traveling really takes a backseat to Alice and her father Leonard's relationship.
And NYC. Emma shine a glowing light on NYC. NYC almost feels like a character itself.
With Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness still fresh on my brain, it made me wonder if from some angles time traveling Alice would be the villain of the story wrecking havoc with the other Alices in their original time line.

I really enjoyed this story. The temptation to travel back in time to a healthy parent. Very moving.
Picked this up at the recommendation of a friend, and I’m ultimately glad I did. It was a very slow start for me - felt like the author was building context for an unnecessarily long time, but having finished, I get why it was needed.
The story is about our relationship with time and perspective, which always fascinates me. Would be a good book club read.
