An super interesting book told in reverse from 2040 to the 2010’s. I wanted more details about each character but I liked that we got to learn about the consequences and results of choices that were made but backwards. A bit more detail and description of Japan, Shanghai and Paris would have been nice to just add more to the story. This was a quick listen on audio that kept you engaged the entire listen!
