While somewhat confusing, I think this was a superb and original take on time travel. It had elements of practicality that made it more believable than those which are simply fantastical.
I would love to see this made into a movie, with the twists and turns of silver and green selves. It really calls up such imaginative future possibilities. While a book about females and scientific exploits, it doesn’t come across as a feminist statement, although of course it is to some extent. I don’t know whether this story would have worked so well had it been male-centric.

A very interesting and original idea. I enjoyed all the characters, it was nice to read a book with such strong female heroes and the idea of time travelling being part of everyday life was executed very well. My only complaint is that I wish the mystery of the body in the cellar would have been revealed a little later in the book, as I felt this mystery was the essence.

It was so interesting how the two main timelines fit together, especially with all the time travel mixing it all up, but somehow it worked!
I found it amazing to read about a world where people were used to time travel as if it was a normal part of life, visiting yourself in the future or past, even on your own deathbed.
This was quite a slow paced book and could be a little confusing trying to keep track of all the characters at different times.

I did really like this, but it felt a little like I was reading an early draft. There were a lot of punctuation errors (particularly relating to dialogue) that were really distracting. Other than that, this was a promising debut novel.

Holy cow. What can I even say, other than this book was FANTASTIC?? I love stories about time travel; and not only is this a great time travel story, it is a great story about women. Not just any women. Women who represent minority demographics. I really came to love the main characters, and I was sad to see the story end. 100% would read a sequel.

The concept was there, but the execution just was not.
For me, there were too many characters with too many time-lines.
It was a confusing read and many parts could have been cut out.
A simpler story line would have made it far easier to read, and make it more enjoyable.
I would recommend it to YA fans, as the characters were very on par with that genre.
