This was simultaneously a hard and easy read. The writing style and engaging plot made it easy to breeze through, but the content was very heavy. I really enjoyed this story. The characters were all very well written, to the point where they seemed very real. The time travelling connecting between Dana and Rufus was very creative and unlike any time travelling story I've encountered before.
