 I absolutely loved the concept of this post-apocalyptic world. One day, time essentially stops. Well, sort of - the majority of the world gets caught in little time loops of varying lengths, people repeating the same 10 or 15 minute segments of their life over and over and over again. Except for a few. The few people not stuck in loops have to navigate around those that are or risk disturbing them, breaking the loops and potentially killing the people inside.

I really loved the depth and complexity of the characters, but the story felt like it moved a little quickly, and I wanted a little more time with them to watch their relationships grow. That said, I can also see how having some more of that developmental time in there could have led to the book dragging a bit.

And then there’s the ending! I have a lot of mixed feelings there xD But I would definitely recommend this book if you’re interested in a unique post-apocalyptic world with excellent characters!
