Summer of Love: A Time Travel by Lisa Mason
3.0
I saw a review comparing this to the Terminator (man from future sent back to the past to save humanity) and I cackled. It's got some guns in this one too... 100,000 hippie tourists descending on Haight-Ashbury in 1967 for the Summer of Love sounds like it ought to be sci-fi and we do get a time-travelling visitor trying to find a young woman. It's unruly and hazy and tries to explore a bunch of things. The historical fiction side of things was intriguing. Spending a summer in San Fransisco with Ruby and Starbright and Chi was funny and upsetting and interesting and infuriating. I was a bit more confused by the future elements.
When I first tried to read this I got really irritated by the choppy writing style and couldn't make it past the first few paragraphs before having to put it down and read something else first. Glad I gave it another go and made it past that particular barrier.
