If I could give this book a million stars I would! This is one of those books that comes along and shocks me that I enjoyed it so much--so SO much!
I keep telling myself I am not a sci-fi reader and yet I have read a few this year and maybe a couple more in the past few years and I absolutely loved them. But this book converted me. I am a sci-fi reader.
There are 2 main perspectives that we get in this book--mostly the female Coco, and occasionally the male Forrest. I was so lost during the prologue as it comes in right before the end of the book and I had no idea what was going on. Then the first chapter hit and I was hooked! This is a multi-timeline story, that follows Coco and others in a post-apocalyptic US.
The majority of the population has ceased to exist in time, they are stuck on an endless time loop repeating the same thing over and over--never changing unless something interrupts their loop. Coco and the others exist outside of this loop and for them, life goes on. There are different 'political' parties with different theories on what this is and how they should proceed.
This book was phenomenally written. It was engaging, It was entertaining in a different way than I usually seek. I started listening to this book a couple of hours before bed...I stayed up a few hours after I am usually asleep until exhaustion took over, and less than 4 hours later I was back up and my earbuds were back in. This is a book I will be purchasing to read again--and potentially again in the future.
The audio was perfect. As this book spans decades the character's voices, tones, and ideals all changed throughout.--the narrators had to convey all of these differences throughout, both did a fantastic job.
