Should have read them plot order not publishing order. Would probably have enjoyed it more that way. Still a good read!

River was loveable maybe Grace too. I completely forgot why I requested this at the library. I don't think I learned anything structure/technique wise. I didn't enjoy it much but I don't post DNFs here. It's a fast read when I set aside time (hah) to read it.

I had a hard time keeping track of the threads. I think a physical copy would help page through... Stuck with it. Wanted to finish because of time travel.

Not a genre book. Not spec fic. But it's still a good story just literary.

Just as good as the first one. Except I didn't spend the whole novel wishing it was set in Boston.

I also have Crohn's but it's not as bad as my mental illness. It was interesting to read it from both sides.

This book is not set in Boston. There aren't enough references, it was too generic. I was disappointed since that was one of the reasons why I picked it. But I finished for the queer representation. Time travel was interesting-ish.
