I really enjoyed this book! The alternating timelines was done in a fairly engaging way (as in, I was not so desperate to go back to the opposite timeline) and I found the shift in POVs seamless. The ending was simultaneously satisfying and not?? I still have questions.
The story was compelling, and both main characters had a solid amount of development; although, I think Dana could have had more/could have ended on a solid trajectory towards change.
