The author did an incredible job with such a unique idea. She executed the idea of time travel and the process of multi-dimensional worlds in a way that was clear and nonconfusing. I feel like that is an accomplishment in itself to create a storyline as complex "Only a Monster," and have it not become muddled. My brain would never have been able to sort all these ambitious ideas that transpire in the book and articulate them into one storyline. I am thoroughly impressed and it was a joy to read. I wish this wasn't considered YA because it deserves a wider audience to see the author's literary prowess.
