Atomic Anna by Rachel Barenbaum

4.0

A time travel story that centers around the Chernobyl disaster? Sounds great to me and you know, it was pretty good. The problem was that it was only pretty good because it was way longer than it needed to be. There were a lot of times in this book that the story just dragged on and felt so slow and boring. I enjoyed the family drama that was the main story of this book though, and the POVs that we followed through the story were great. My favorite was probably Raisa, but all of them were good. The time travel mechanics were a little weird but all in all this was a fun book, just not quite as fun as I thought it would be going into it.
