This book has a solid concept and I enjoyed watching the pieces come together. It starts with a man whose consciousness is sent back to occupy his teenage body in 2006, without his knowledge or consent. It called to mind a dark version of Quantum Leap with a touch of 13 Going on 30. The other side of the story concerns the people back in 2020 who are trying to figure out how the previously only theoretical concept of time travel was made into reality while also scrambling to co-opt it for their own agendas.

I liked the dual timeframes of 2020 and 2006, and the story felt very grounded in the real world. The characters have a lot of potential (I liked Javier the most), and the author did a nice job of setting the various scenes, especially the house in which much of the story takes place.

I did feel that the text could have been a little more streamlined; there were a few too many mundane details (road directions, all the meal stops, etc.). I also wasn’t a fan of the stream of consciousness/inner monologue bits—they felt too wordy while unnecessarily stating the obvious.

Overall, this is a solid effort for a debut novel and I will be on the lookout for the next book in the series as this one ends on a cliffhanger! Thank you to NetGalley and Atmosphere Press for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

I loved the book and characters. I am not typically a sci-fi reader, but this book was great! I appreciated the short chapters, and it ends with a bang. I hope there will be more to the story.

This novel Travel, has a time travel aspect which makes it intriguing not only because you go from the present back to 2006, but because there is a mix of suspense to the story. The story is done in a way that makes it believable. As this is the first time I have read any books from this author, I'm looking forward to more in the future.

Well that was good… science- fiction, time travel, action. A great read. Only comment would be it’s all male characters. Interested to read the sequel. Thank you to the author. Thank you to #netgalley and the publisher for an ARC.

Good, especially for a debut sci-fi novel. The story quickly immerses the story in several timelines. I like the short chapters that converge to show the many plot points from different character’s perspectives. With a medium to fast pace, it ends with a bang and left me wanting to read the next one immediately. Too bad it doesn’t exist yet. Don’t leave me hanging, Kevin!
