This book was beyond expectations. One of my favorite tropes is time travel. I absolutely loved that the story started with such a bang, and kept me gripped the entire time. It is so interesting. I have never read a story like this before. It is difficult, heartbreaking, and amazing. I wish it were required reading. Phenomenal.
