Red and Blue are time-traveling agents from warring timelines, moving between ages and universes to alter worlds in attempts to sabotage the other side. They become aware of each other's presence and begin leaving coded messages to each other, slowly falling in love throughout the millennia.

THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR is one of the most finely crafted, romantic, and engrossing books I've ever read - no small feat for a book that's barely 200 pages. At first I had a little trouble differentiating Red's pages from Blue's, but once I got a handle on that, I was hooked.

This book is filled with gorgeous, fantastical details. It's a love letter stuffed with other love letters, to books, to nature, to historical figures, to futures yet unknown. I've never read anything like this perfect little diamond of a book, and I hope you'll give it a try, too.
