This book made my head hurt. The back and forth timelines really did me in. I read many dual timelines but I’ve never said anything like “wait a minute, this is the 1930’s why are we talking about bubble tea straws?” only to find out I missed the switch to 2018.
The story itself was written in a very thriller-esque style which I am here for 100%! I absolutely loved it.
Maybe the timelines wouldn’t have been so confusing reading a physical or digital copy but admittedly I listened to the audio so that could be the problem. But it was a pretty big problem for me.
