Book club book:

I have this book 2 stars since it just wasn’t really my cup of tea. But I did really like the fact it was set in Bath and I’ve been there many times so I recognised the locations :)

I think the whole time situation and multiverse theory is a very tricky and complicated concept to pull off and this book didn’t hit it for me.

I also found this book quite triggering in regards to Laura’s relationship with her dad which mirrored my own relationship with my dad a bit too well and I wasn’t expecting this from this book, if it wasn’t a book club pick, I probably would have dnf’d because of this but this is solely a me issue and not the fault of the author. I did however appreciate the representation of different types of abuse as I feel like it’s not as recognised.

Overall I wasn’t really thrilled with the plot and I found that for me it did drag but I liked the setting of the book and I am glad that Will and Elsa lived happily ever after
