This book was a fast read for me, and once I started it I couldn't put it down. Time travel and multi-dimensional travel isn't a new concept as a part of a story or plot line, but I really enjoyed the way it was executed. The way it was described in this book that made it very "real" and reflective for the reader instead of more of an outlandish fantasy. There is also a crime/mystery aspect to this book that kept me on the edge of my seat. I ALMOST cried at two points in the book, and I also found myself rooting for several characters. This is one of those books I wish I could reread for the first time, but I also find myself thinking about/reflecting on it months later. I have and would recommend this book to others.
