teetering between 4-4.4 stars! finished this on audio this weekend and honestly really loved it 🖤 since finishing i find myself missing these characters!

it was a bit heavier on the sci-fi and confusing at times (think RECURSION or Blake Crouch books) but very much worth the read. heavy on time travel which i looooove and so creative. a good genre blend too—romance, historical fiction, fantasy/sci-fi and even some thriller aspects.

audio is the way to go on this—dual POVs and the narrators are British👌🏼 i think people might get bored reading the physical copy and the audio does a GREAT job of capturing the banter and personalities of the characters and honestly i laughed soooo many times. imagine someone from 2024 talking to someone from 1847 😆 lots of language/talking barriers lol!

GMA did it right, this would be a great book club pick! *PRO TIP—i actually highly recommend buddy reading this with someone if you don’t have a bookclub. the subject matter gets a little confusing and i think it would be great to chat with someone about this as you go!

if you’ve finished this, would love to know what you thought!!

i’m going to do a full review in feed on my IG but wanted to share since it’s a buzzy book right now :) thanks to Avid Reader Press for the early gifted copy and Libro FM for the audio copy.
