Quick, easy, and lighthearted. The main character, Lucy, was unproblematic but also a little flat. A lot of the details seemed to me to be added purely for the “shock” of time travel. Though it wasn’t “dark”, it seemed to be a little unnecessary. Felix (Future Lucy’s son) was adorable, comedic relief but all of the secondary characters were very secondary and underdeveloped. Not at all bad, an easy way to knock a book out though I did find it to drag a tad and myself unmotivated to keep reading at some points. My biggest qualm was that she jumped forward in to the future. As a personal preference, I do not love SciFi so the futuristic details were annoying to me. I personally would have preferred the novel to be set 16 years in the past and she jumped forward to today. Again - not negating the quality of the book, just a personal preference. Overall a good book, but did not leave me with any desire to read her others.
