This was a really fun read, I think the pacing was great and the story rapped up really well. I think at the beginning the timing was a little confusing for me, but once I realized what was happening it cleared everything up. I really liked this form/concept of time travel, I feel like it is one of the first books ive read with this specific form time travel and the corresponding consequences.

Balling my eyes out. It's like Christopher Nolan wrote a novel but it's a better story than any of his movies. Imaginative. Clever. Riveting. Enthralling. It is a mystery that goes everywhere you want a mystery to go - and then some.
