When you read a lot (and I mean a loooot) of books about time travel, and you think, you've seen it all, but then you read this gem. What a cool approach to the subject.
It can be a little confusing, and I didn't do myself any favour by listening to the audiobook, but I still loved it so so much. (Also, I really enjoyed the audiobook) So it's not primarily a book about time travels but more about the people who invented it and the ones who used it. About long term effects time travel may have on the psyche. About friendship, family, love and murder. Yeah, there is also a murder mystery to be solved.
It's also really diverse and feminist (almost the entire cast of characters is female).
