My own inability to understand time-travel narratives impacted my enjoyment of this book. I LOVED the premise, and I feel it was carried out very well, but I am unsure I completely "got" it. I hope Bradley's predictions for our near-future are inaccurate. Loved the 2 mc and their relationship, but also the other ex-pats, especially Maggie. Can't help thinking this would make a really interesting film or Netflix series.
