A review by taylor_broek
The Bookshop of Yesterdays by Amy Meyerson
Did not finish book.
DNF @ 43% pg 160ish the mid paragraph/sentence jumps in POV & tense & timeline were so hard to follow. Meyerson tells everyone’s feelings that no one but that obscure side side side character from 20+ years ago could know.
Also she hates her boyfriend right?
A current time line conversation between John & miranda about a conversation between John and Billy decades ago
That's true, John said, unclear what his old friend was asking him. (As if we’re back in the moment of the conversation happening from John’s pov)
"They were calculations of distances to parallel universes. Theories on multiple universes had already been floating around for a while," John explained to me. (Me being Miranda!?) "But I wasn't sure why Billy was showing them to me (me now being John in the present tense past). In fact, I remember being surprised at how unsophisticated his calculations were (making observations about the past conversation in retelling it to Miranda) . Any high school student with a decent physics teacher could have calculated them." John sipped his coffee, waiting for his old friend to explain his rather mundane observations. (As if we’re back in time in the moment of the conversation happening from John’s pov)
