Not just your average time travel romance, but an in depth look into the psyche of someone on the spectrum. A multi-sensory experience.

Good stuff. Engrossing, sweet, but not saccharine.

I only got to about chapter 4, and not one character was likable, not that I need likable characters but that combined with a spoiler review on here that I peeked at convinced me that this one isn’t for me at 13 hours long… maybe I’ll come back to it one day cause who isn’t intrigued by a time traveling neurodivergent? But definitely not for me right now.

Cute, fairly predictable, a good read. I liked the neurodivergent narration but skipped through the bits about mythology.

The Greek mythology got really old really fast. Like, it was too much and felt distracting. The ending irked me. Seemed like the main character went through a lot for nothing. I did appreciate her growth but her revelation at the end felt obvious from page 1.

I really wanted to like this story but it felt very young adult and I struggle to see the point of the story. Truthfully, I enjoyed bits and even laughed out loud at times, but mostly found myself bored and waiting for it to be over with. 2.5/5
