Midnight at the Electric by Jodi Lynn Anderson
3.0
I enjoyed this book and it was a quick read (I read it in two sittings) but it's hard to classify. It's a historical fiction/sci-fi mix, which is odd. There are three distinct parts of the book, one 45 years in the future and two almost 100 years in the past.
These three timelines are connected through letters, which is an interesting literary device. I thought Catherine's storyline was the most engaging - she was in the 1930s in Oklahoma, living through the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. This really painted a picture of what life was like. Lenore, in the U.K. with a strange relationship with a stranger, was interesting.
The way it all tied together is also interesting. Overall this was a good book and I'm glad I read it, even if it was hard to classify.
