it was interesting but the ending felt a little lackluster and predictable to me.

Enjoyable, time travel, autism, mythology, life woes, etc.

This book caught me by surprise. I questioned the reality of me so many times. It's hard rationalizing in your 40s that everything perceptibly wrong with you is a symptom of autism, is quite a shake. From misunderstanding a person's motivations, or miscalculating or misinterpreting. To constantly wondering if you've done or said the wrong thing, the over thinking, the over processing every interaction, the fear of rejection, the distancing of self and the cognitive delay. I'm shook. But in the end, i really love Cassandra, and hopefully people out there love me too.

Interesting premise that just fell flat. Should have been a quick easy read that just dragged on.

Not sure how I felt about the ending, but really enjoyed the book. The autism rep was brilliant!

I love this book so much, I’ve read it (listened to it) twice and I recommend it to everyone.  It’s funny but also thought provoking.   There isn’t a bad guy in the entire book everyone has their flaws but they are all good at heart really.

I realize this book is about a time traveler but I thought it was extremely repetitive to almost an annoying level.
I almost thought about stopping less than halfway through because it felt as though the story wasn’t progressing.
