Really interesting read from the perspective of a neurodivergent woman trying to find love and just make it through the day. I can see why several reviews said DNF. It’s difficult to be in the mind of an autistic person. It reminded me of reading Turtles All the Way Down by John Green. They do such a good job of bringing you into these brains that work a little differently. But it’s hard to read/listen to! I liked the time travel aspect of this.

Weird concept. I loved The Rosie Project. This doesn’t compare. Time traveling leaves too many loose ends and possibilities.

I felt like this book was made for me. As an autistic and Greek person. This was such a fun read of a woman traveling through time and getting a better understanding of herself and those around her.
