A Second Chance For Yesterday by R.A Sinn
4.0
This was a really enjoyable read. It took a little while for me to wrap my head around the logistics of the time travelling, but once I did I was fully committed to this one.
The actual world building is done really well - you’re slowly introduced to aspects of this future world very naturally. This helped give you more brain power to think about the whole time travelling glitch thing.
Nev was a fairly likeable character, particularly by the end of the book. And I loved Aierin. The way their relationship worked was so wonderful (and heartbreaking). I was rooting for them and would have liked to see a little more of their relationship.
The ending was so sudden and abrupt. It was a brilliant ending in a way, but I felt it needed a little more context to really make it clear what had happened. I also wanted to know what the effect was - did everyone remember what had happened in the last month? It left me feeling like the story was unfinished.
All in all, a fun queer sci-fi set in a future which doesn’t feel too unobtainable.
