I don’t know how to feel about this one.
I loved the premise but it was hard to figure out when the slips in time were happening. The first half moved slow and then in the end I felt like there wasn’t a big pay off for the reveal.

What if you told an ordinary story, but changed the setting every few chapters? It might make an awesome book, or it might just be confusing. In this case, it was confusing.

This book felt like it was trying to be 18 different things and failed at all of them. The writing itself was pleasant enough. Even the first half of the novel was fine. But the time traveling was incredibly confusing, and I only sort of understood who all the characters were. Not to mention the chemistry between Eleanor and Robin, which started to build early on, but fizzled as the book grew more muddled.

I was hoping the ending would tie it all up in a happy little bow and make it all make sense. I guess it did to a degree, but the ending also felt lazy and contrived.

It was a good enough concept, but the execution fell incredibly short.
