I liked this one! It's not my absolute favorite time travel sci-fi out there, but I think what Kaliane Bradley did here was unique and fun and sometimes scary.

I adored how much I got mad at the main character for her bad (yet extremely believable and relatable) choices, but I loved her anyway for trying to fix them - and that literally everyone else in the book basically felt the same way
including her future self, whom I am convinced came to the past specifically to punch her past self in the face. The save the world mission was just a side bonus.

I think my only complaint was that the romance felt unbelievable and clinical. But hey, it was still cute.
