Was this book an interesting read? Yes. I was so excited to learn what happens next. Was this book meaningful? Meh. I feel like the author complicated a really obvious idea: that the world can’t be saved.

I felt that the time-traveling chunks were very disorganized. It was a shame; they were my favorite part of the book because nothing interesting happened in Kate’s main life. The romance between Kate and Ben was EXTREMELY unreal and unsatisfying, so I didn’t care for it, really.

The only thing I did like was the feeling of changing realities. I was reading and thinking, “Is she just crazy, or is she really time traveling?”

I felt like this book was trying to be so meaningful but didn’t produce anything original to do so. The ending felt shallow and senseless. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend it.
