Spectacularly well constructed, I loved every second of this book. There were some novel ideas around time travel, and some interesting introspection on how we feel about our past and future selves.
The female centric narrative was delightful, and the idea that an innovation by four women would create a female centric work force.
My only issue, and this might be because I read the book in two days on my holiday while occasionally hungover, but I ended up fucking back and forth to confirm if a character was someone we'd already met or not.
I've started wondering if the story would feel changed if read in chronological order, and I'm tempted to come back to the book in a few months and give it a try.
