beautiful and thought provoking. this book felt like a breath of fresh air, especially with mandel’s prose. i absolutely love her writing and this book was everything i loved: sci-fi and literary. i enjoyed this a lot more than station eleven. there were so many parts here that were very reflective and had to make me pause and reconsider life for a moment. i can’t wait to reread this in the future. 5/5 stars

WOW what a fantastic book!! I'm glad I went in knowing nothing about it. The main theme of

time travel

totally snuck up on me and gradually revealed itself in such a fun way. It was a perfect mystery; some things I was able to figure out and felt very rewarded about being right, and other things caught me totally by surprise. A must read for sci fi enjoyers!
