Here and Now and Then by Mike Chen

This is a good book, if it's your kind of thing...unfortunately it's not mine.

I thought I'd bought into an action-based time-jumping race against the clock, and the first seven or eight chapters kept me hopeful. But after that, this is basically a love story across time.
If you like your adventure drawn out and the details a little too over-explained with lots of anxiety and regret from every character, then you'll probably like this.

I did read to the end, so that must count for something.

I’m going to go back to it, I couldn’t get into it at the moment because too much was going on. The story was cool though so I want to try again.

Solid story but doesn't quite hit the emotional highs and lows it strives to reach.

Love the concept, but the execution was dull and unexciting  Time travel aspect is treated like a second thought. Connie Willis is so much better at this.
