I finished this book without fully understanding the purpose of it. I recognise this is an earlier book that the bone clocks and I personally felt that showed as the plot was not as strong. There were still that interconnectedness between stories but less so. It did feel more like I was reading several short stories, and just waiting to see how it all matched up. And honestly I'm still waiting. I liked to the tea shop story and Mo's story, but I wish there had been more of a link between these stories, and more of a final event linking them.
