Eh. This book was SO SLOW that it made it hard to enjoy. And I was kind of disappointed by this book. The time travel science was very superficial and not well thought out, the romance lacked chemistry or tension so I couldn’t root for the couple, the sex scenes were awkward, and the main character was impersonal and bland. The anachronism of Graham and the other expats in the 21st century were interesting to read about but got a little old. I also felt unsatisfied with how this particular timeline turned out and the reasons why.
