5.0

This Is How You Lose the Time War is a unique, timey-wimey, sci-fi sapphic love story told through letters, and I absolutely loved it. Funny, moving, fascinating, and immersive, I adored how the world-building slowly came together like an image coalescing as you complete a puzzle.

I'll be adding this one to my reread pile!
