This book was really cute and I really liked the concept. I’ve never read magical realism and this was such a fun little read. The story, characters, and everything else was just nice. I liked everything about it but the reason it’s not getting a 5 is because I just didn’t feel a huge spark with it. Overall it was a great book and I would read another book by this author.

I laughed. I cried a bit. While I enjoyed the book I felt like the development of the main character’s relationship could have been stronger/better.

This one is tricky for me. The book had the potential to be wonderful but it fell short for me, though it had its moments. It was cute, it was heartfelt, and any complaints I have are only because I know this book could have been just that much better.
A few issues:
A few issues:
- Clementine and Iwan's convos often read as trying-too-hard-to-be-banter rather than actually being cute and witty. I much preferred when they had real discussioss with each other.
- Drew and Fiona felt like afterthoughts rather than full characters in their own right.
- There were some descriptions and turns of phrase that came up a few times. I think they were intended to be callbacks to previous scenes, but instead felt clunky and repetitive, like the author had forgotten she'd already used that phrasing before.
- I didn't like how much Clementine used her job as her identity. Her job doesn't have to define her, but she acts like it's this huge, groundbreaking thing to want change.
Lastly, I'm not big on time travel stories, but that's a me thing. The plot made sense of the time travel aspect pretty well, all things considered.
