Into the Real by Z Brewer
4.0
4.5 stars, rounded down.
A very unique, innovative style of book - one that worked very well for me.
I feel like the less you know, the more you enjoy it, though with that in mind...
Initially I found the jumping around between the timelines confusing, though as mentioned, this is meta as the main character themselves is bewildered by what is going on, when it comes to slotting in between the different narratives. The main character is slightly more onto it than the reader is, leading the way as opposed to the reader finding things out first and waiting for the MC to catch up.
I was impressed by this.

The premise of this book is three parallel storylines with the same characters and one binding theme/struggle from our main character. Its highly meta and had me guessing the entire time.Initially I found the jumping around between the timelines confusing, though as mentioned, this is meta as the main character themselves is bewildered by what is going on, when it comes to slotting in between the different narratives.
