More like 2.7. I was curious about this book, but it didn't really hold my interest. And I know it didn't because when a book is interesting to me, I think about it when I'm not reading it and I'm happy to pick it back up. The book wasn't bad but, for me, the pacing didn't keep me invested. The first half of the book felt like a long montage of Graham getting used to the present and then bam, Graham and the MC are together and some people from the future are trying to kill her. While I did enjoy the MC and Graham's relationship, I was more invested in Margaret and Arthur's journeys. They kept me going while reading this. The ending felt rushed, and a lot of information was thrown at you but funny enough was the most fun part of the book. Oh, and on a personal note, Graham and the MC should have been reunited at the end.

P.S. Why am I just realizing that we never learned the MC's name?

This book moved VERY slow, it only picked up/ got interesting at the end. I felt in my opinion there were a lot of unanswered questions, but I guess that was on purpose. An interesting book in the sense you can’t tell who the protagonists are and who the antagonists are at the end.

Overall I enjoyed this book despite the ending not really rounding everything out for me. Finding out this this started as a series of blog posts makes more sense as the premise is a lot of fun and seemingly endless, but it felt like truing to create a rounded plot was a bit forced.
