This book is quite a difficult one to review because there were certainly things that I liked about it but there was also quite a lot that I was indifferent to. I know of some people who have loved this book and others who have not got on so well with it, I think I’m best placed in between the two of those extremes. Instead of my usual review I’m going to split this into the bits I liked and the bits that didn’t quite tickle my pickle!

Things I liked:

- The writing style. I mean there are some scenes in this book that are so beautifully written and I could have reread some of these sentences over and over. The descriptions in this book are spot on.
- The summery feel. I’m definitely glad that I read this book during the summer or some of its charm would have been lost on me.
- I thought the way this book dealt with grief was really well written. Gottie is stuck in her own cycle of grief after her grandfather dies and I thought this was quite nicely represented and made a lot of sense by the end of the book.
- The romance was okay. It’s not a couple I would fall head over heels for but it definitely had its moments where I thought it was completely adorable.

Things I liked less:

- So I know this book is about time travel BUT there was just too much science for me. I couldn’t understand some of what was being said and as a result I found myself skimming sections of the book when I could see all the science jargon. I feel like I needed it to either be a contemporary or a science fiction, my brain couldn’t handle both concepts. But I’m sure plenty of readers will love this!
- I felt confused sometimes. The time travel wasn’t always clear to me and then I couldn’t quite follow what was happening (my skimming won’t have helped here!)
- I wanted more of a connection with the characters. There is a great cast of characters here but I felt like I never got to know most of them well enough to truly care about them. I just missed that connection that I so wanted.

There is plenty for people to like about this book; I think it just wasn’t quite for me. If you love Physics/Maths and romance then this is definitely a book you would like so I highly recommend it.
