First things first- reading this on kindle was a disservice to myself as this is a novel that jumps between years (time travel will do that) so I never really knew where I was. It was still decently easy to follow but I think being able to pop back and forth easily would’ve been nice. 
That being said, Kirby is my new girl, we love a homegirl who can hold her own guts in and get shit done… literally. The time travelers wife if she was a bum ass man/serial killer.
