Shoestring Theory by Mariana Costa
5.0
I would like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read and honestly review an advanced reader’s copy of this book.
Sometimes you accidentally read a book that is just perfectly written for you: and this is one of those for me.
This is The Sins On Their Bones - But it didn’t leave me heartbroken in the end. The tension in this, the relationship between Cy and his tyrant ex-husband, the fast-flowing plot?? All of this was perfect, and I could ramble for hours about it.
Cy is a wonderful main character. I loved seeing his growth: for him to overcome his suicidal ideation and learn that he is loved by those around him.
We follow him as he, as a 50 year old man at the end of the world, performs a last ditch attempt to right the wrong of the past. (By literally going back into the past, into the body of his 20-year old self.)
He expects to meet his ex-husband before he turned into the tyrant his is in Cy’s current reality; only the spell goes slightly wrong, and Cy’s ex-husband is transported to the past right along with him.
(Yeah, I can’t spell the man’s name, I’m so sorry, I’ve just been calling him Euf in my head…)
The magic system is easy to understand, the writing style is lovely and smooth and it was honestly so hard to put down. This book is fantastic and I hope the author has more stories to tell, because I’ll be auto-buying them!
