An very different take on time travel than usual. This isn’t about going back in time and saving the world, instead much more attention is given to changes in society, behaviour, relationships with the invention of time travel. Really enjoyed this book!
Also love that there is a complete gender reversal from the usual stereotypes: anyone important to the story is female, there is only a handful of male characters and they’re only there in supporting roles. The fact that this stands out is a good example of why we need more books like this!
