Atomic Anna by Rachel Barenbaum
4.0

This is a fantastic sci-fi time travel novel centering on three women, their connection to each other and to Chernobyl. Anna, Molly and Raisa- three generations of flawed women are trying to figure out how to stop the Chernobyl disaster and save their family at the same time.

I loved the characters in this book and I really felt for Anna as I felt like she was misunderstood by everyone around her. Molly was a bit harder to like as I felt like she played the victim all the time and was completely unwilling to see anyone else's perspective. Raisa was a great character and it was so wonderful to see her come into her own towards the end of the book.

I felt this book was a bit too long. I'm definitely glad I hung in there because the ending was well worth it. I wish I could actually see some of the Atomic Anna comic books as they sound amazing!
