Every Anxious Wave by Mo Daviau
4.0
I was prepared to dislike this book. The ending made up for what I felt like was a meandering beginning and middle. All of those threads do come together at the end in a wholesome way.
This book is about reconciling youth with adulthood, and what it means to be an adult. There’s a lot about dealing with baggage and how you maybe need to. Which works in this story about time travel where an aging former rock star discovers a time travel wormhole in his closet and uses it to watch old rock concerts.
I like this book more than I thought I would. I think it deals with some serious topics a little too flippantly; often the book starts to get deep, but kind of puts too much wry commentary and observation around it, then again that’s how we deal with our problems sometimes.
