I think I might be in my 'time-travel' era because immediately after reading this I went out and bought like 3 more time-travel books. 

This book was a pleasant surprise in that it was incredibly pleasing to read, but also really heavy at some moments but in the most beautiful way. I found myself laughing, crying, kicking my feet and giggling, and just really enjoying myself along the way.

We're following Alex in the year 1995 who has everything he could ever want in the world until a tragic accident happens, and he wakes up the next day to find out that it's not really the next day at all, but many years later and he has no idea how he ended up there. Then he goes asleep, and ends up in another lifetime. And so the story goes..We continue to follow him through every day of his life following the accident, trying to figure out how he can get back to the place and time he knows. Or if it's even possible to do so. 

I think the time-travel aspect of this was done really well, there was always enough information to keep you informed and interested, but never too much where you're bored with what is happening. I also enjoyed most of the characters we met along the way and learning about their own stories in addition to Alex's stories. 

While it started off slow, I eventually became so engaged with the story and couldn't wait to see the outcome, finishing in just one day! I loved that the endless possibilities we're seeing how just one little difference or change can totally alter the way your life works out.

I definitely encourage checking out a few trigger warnings as there are some heavy themes in the book, however; they're necessary, messy, and beautiful all the same. 

If you're looking for a time-travel book that just does it well, I highly encourage you grab this one! 

Below are a few quotes that I positively loved and think just show the beauty I was talking about.

"Love isn't the ability to wake up next to someone every day. It is the unbearableness of not waking up next to that person, every single day." (Page 170)

"The worst our enemies can ever do is turn us into them." (Page 262)

"Perhaps that's one of the great joys about being young: that everyone you've ever loved is still alive." (Page 278)
