“No stars burn forever” 💫 

Have you ever just read a book, and right after you finish you need to just go sit on your porch & watch the rain fall? That was this book for me. Definitely felt like a fever dream…

I had zero expectations going into this, and tbh I barely even read the synopsis - all I knew is that it somehow involved time travel. 

The first 1/3rd of the book, I definitely considered whether or not I was a little too dumb for it (this is very much-so out of my comfort zone in terms of genre), but I stuck it out. I really liked how everything came together in the end… 

I will need 5-10 business days to really get my thoughts together though! Definitely recommend it.
