(4 stars) I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the love story is beautiful & got me in my feels towards the end. I would’ve given 4.5 but initially in the beginning I was a tad confused on what was all taking place!
This book is such a fresh perspective out there in the book world. I went into this book blindly, not knowing the format, nor the depth of it's intricacies with science, and physics, and understanding time in the concept of a thread that can be traversed.
While I enjoyed this thoroughly, I did listen to this book, so it made it hard to follow unless I was expressly paying attention to it just due to those intricacies. Which genuinely props to the authors, it is so unique I am in awe! The character's banter through their letters that grows more and more flirty, fond, and secretive was extremely fun to follow. As a listener/consumer, it feels like I'm listening in on something I shouldn't know which of course is also a plot point here - them not wanting to be found out.
The twist too!! I really sat there for a few minutes after trying to explain to my husband how well rounded/thought out this was to ensure these two characters could end up together! Loved this, really fun to try something in this format.

first of all, i didnât know about the tweet but iâm glad some people who like this book have found it through a tweet!
secondly, this book felt a bit⦠gimmicky? like i enjoyed it occasionally but a lot of it just felt half done. it read more like a fun idea for a story than an actual finished book. i didnât really care for the half explanations of the sci fi threads, and the central relationship was justâthere. which isnât a compliment for a relationship⦠i think it suffered from tell, not show
