A unique genre-meshing story. There’s mystery, romance, time travel. It’s often a bit dull—a bit mundane—but there’s a reason for that. It’s the build for me, the “oh shit” moments, the “well, of course” passages. I think the unreliable narrator is essential to the overall arc, and usually I don’t care for longer chapters, but they’re sectioned out with purpose and tension and juxtaposed with the shorter ones at just the right moments. You may find yourself questioning things while reading—but again, there’s a reason for it. Trust the story, let it take you through time.
