I refuse to read almost any book using time travel as a plot. Glad you suffered through this and not me.
In my limited experience with tt books the protagonist just makes different life choices to make it all work out better than the first time around. Feels too simple and unrealistic. But since I haven’t read any tt books in years my opinion is not all that valuable, or even accurate maybe.
I really enjoyed Replay from Ken Grimmwood I found it to be kind of outside the standard of time travel novels. I get what you are saying though and I agree
Thanks for respecting my opinion, I appreciate you for that. I will check out the book you mentioned.
Thank you for this validation. I'm not too far into this on Libby and my feeling so far are: Meh. Other people are waiting on it so I thought I'd check reviews to see if I should give it another try or just return it. Most of the other reviews seems to be from rabid fans of his books (this is the first I've heard of him) and it made me a little leery of their opinions.
I find that "too stressed to eat" thing SUCH a trope. It seemed like her and her spouse knew how to "play the game" for a long time and now, after his death, she no longer knows how, or not really? I know grief does strange things but this book in some ways wasn't sure what it was trying to be. Thanks for your review
Very helpful review. Does she follow the rest of the "rules" for women (don't sweat, don't use the bathroom except for conferences, etc)? Thank you for "warning me off!"
