It is a little confusing at the beginning and very slow. But as soon the story unravels, you‘ll be hooked and it bevomes fast paced!

The concept is interesting, I really like timeloops and multiverse kinda stories. But here in this book, absolutely unnecessary. Why? Because it happened once in the beginning of the book and then it was just chick-flic drama. No explanation, nothing. She told people about here time travel and they just believed her? But no further questions? uuhh.. ok? Felt like wasting my time.

I was so bored. Apparently this should be read as an audiobook. Well too bad. I can’t do audiobooks. But reading it with my eyeballs made me sleepy the whole time.

Wow I can’t put into words how it felt to read this book. It was kind of more like an experience. And that it doesn’t have more ratings boggles my mind. Please read this.
