A leitura é cativante, a narrativa é bem construída e os personagens são muito bem ambientalizados, tornando a experiência de leitura bem imersiva. Eu adorei o recurso utilizado para a viagem temporal. E ver a compreensão e empatia que Sam vai tomando ao longo da história, os acontecimentos e reviravoltas, até o final, tornaram a leitura extremamente prazerosa.
Embora seja mais voltado ao público juvenil e recém adulto, não impede que nós, da faixa etária mais velha, goste muito dessa história. Sem dúvida, há reconhecimentos, compreensão e reflexão, seja a idade que tiver.

A fresh take on a time travel story. I thought the mother-daughter elements were done well and were handled in a complex, yet fun at times, way. The book felt a little long in parts, but overall I really enjoyed this!
