It was a pleasure to read another novel by this author! Her writing style is so interesting, concrete in its setting and descriptions but also mysterious and slightly unsettling. Usually I struggle to wrap my head around plots that involve time travel, but surprisingly I managed to follow this one without too much confusion. It was executed so well. I had a wonderful time reading this, and I would’ve happily read it in a single sitting if I could.

A few minor characters have same-sex romances (not a huge focus on them, but annoying nonetheless even when it comes up in passing). One or two profanities. Mention of suicide.
