Mmm, a wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey sci-fi love story. There’s a reason This Is How You Lose the Time War has a long waiting list at the library. The authors dropped us right into the action then eased us into the story as we get to know (and love) Red and Blue through their letters to each other. 

Honestly, any more of a review, and I might give everything away. This poetic novella is superb.
