A Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words Review An Alisa Review:

Rating: 4 stars out of 5

Accidental time travel, not something I usually read about but this sounded interesting and I went for it because I have enjoyed the author. I liked how this wasn’t overly sci-fi but just enough to keep it interesting. Alex and Baylin feel an instant attraction to each other and both try to navigate how a relationship would work especially if the High Order want to send Alex back to his time. And Major, he is basically a jerk, he comes around just enough to make Alex off balance.

We get to see both Alex and Baylin struggle with their feelings and how they think they should approach them with each other. I loved how adorable Alex is and is awkwardness is made to be just a cute quirk since he is so different than those around him. Baylin still struggles with his confidence based on how some others treat him but Alex is determined to show him differently and he will need it to fight for what he wants. I was very happy that Alex had the ability to stand up for what he wanted and didn’t have to go along with what the Major said.

Cover art by Natasha Snow is nice though doesn’t scream futuristic to me.
