Oh my gosh this book was incredible.  It has it all - time travel, rivals to lovers, silly jokes! For the first half of the book I honestly didn't understand what was going on plot wise, or what the time war really was. But all that doesn't matter, because it's all about Red and Blue's blossoming (excuse the pun) relationship.  And then comes the twist, and everything slots into place. I can't wait to reread this book knowing how it ends and seeing how much my perspective on the story has changed.
