The book discusses and explores the meaning of time. 

💫I liked the plot and talked about the cons of being immortal through the centuries. 
💫The book was east to read and the layout was interesting..switching from the past to the future. 

📈I lost interest most times..I also felt that the author added the plot twist to create more drama, which is was good but would have liked more of a build up.
