People who like love stories will be slightly disappointed to find out that there is more quantum than love story here. People who do not like love stories will be repelled by the title and miss out and a decent sci-fi novel.
Overall, it's good soft sci-fi. It's easy, it's cozy, it's the perfect thing if you want to read sci-fi at the beach. It's got a little something for everyone.
I wanted more romance, personally. What we get is really nice, but that's it. Just some nice moments. If you are going to title your book A Quantum Love Story, I feel like the love needs to be a little more epic, and the stakes a little higher. It's a time loop story with a romantic sub plot, not a love story with a time-loop conceit. That's not a bad thing for most people, but it was a let down for my romance loving self.
