Midnight at the Electric by Jodi Lynn Anderson
4.0
This book was nothing like I expected. But in a good way! I never read anything like this before!
It's not exactly science fiction, even though part of the book is set in the future, and it isn't exactly historical fiction either. I enjoyed the premise of this book a lot.
This is the story of 3 different girls in 3 different times periods. With three separate timelines, you might think there would be a lot to handle, but no; all of the timelines were unique, and the overlap wasn't completely clear until the end. All of the stories were so different; with one character getting ready to go to Mars, another living during the dust bowl, and another living in 1919 England.
The different stories intertwine beautifully, and while the stories are at times heart-breaking they still give the reader a sense of hope.
I loved how the stories were a bit like puzzle pieces. And I also appreciated the exploration of non-romantic relationships.
This story is slow, emotional and gentle; seemingly straightforward until you get to the end and you're crying your eyes out.
