This was a very long read, but it was so absolutely worth it. Stephen King made this plot long but not once did I ever think, “where are we going with this?” It all makes sense. I’ve personally never read a Stephen King novel, but I was so interested after reading the synopsis that I just had to read it for myself. This book has history, time travel, murder (obviously), romance, mind-bending/meta/multiverse elements, and strong character development. The concept of the rabbit hole is so incredibly fascinating and only got more interesting towards the end of the book. The adventure spanning over 5 years and examining the effects that Jake’s actions had over the future were mesmerizing. I couldn’t have thought of a more terrifying future once the past was tampered with. The love story within the book was also such a wonderful, lighthearted element to have included in what could’ve been an incredibly heavy book. I love the way the story was tied up in a pretty bow. There are so many lovable characters who have such strong arcs that you almost can’t fit into a book shorter than 800 pages. It was necessary and good and I’m better for it lol
This will be the one to beat in 2025 for me. Loved it. Wish my book club could read it but it’s basically a 2 month commitment.
