This story is made up of three different timelines. There is a story in the past, the present and the future. All of them are about different people. The people come together, unknowingly, over a single event. A story with time travel that also asks the question... are we real or a simulation?? The book didn't really have action or overly exciting parts but what kept me reading and enjoying was really great writing. Very delightful read.

I probably would have liked this better had I read it in a concentrated period of time. The disjointed narrative at the beginning threw me off, and I only read a few pages each day. I think I would have enjoyed more had I read big chunks of it at a time and finished it in 1 or 2 or 3 days.

what a wild ride. half way through the book i was utterly confused, unengaged and not sure i wanted to finish it. then things started knitting together and i enjoyed the second half of the book. i will say that i found the book convoluted. yeah, it's about time travel. and like most fiction today, it goes back and forth between characters and time periods. but this book was very challenging for me. i really liked all of the characters. and this book was very much other worldly. good luck!
