Thanks Netgalley for the ARC!!🌃🤩🌟

🎡🤪🧐 Plot:

The plot revolves around Sally, and Jason exploring an abandoned building, which defo gives the story a mysterious and eerie atmosphere. The time travel element is what grabbed my attention— it's also part of the main plot. While the idea of moving forward in time was intriguing, I expected them to be travelling back and observe people going about their day without being noticed  I think that made more sense. The plot takes a little time to pick up and I would say it's best to read this book twice to understand more

🎢🔀🤯 Plot Twist

Although there weren’t any major twists, the curiousity was enough to keep the story going.

😖😱🤡 Characters

The characters felt like they were in their own worlds, even though they were physically together, I just felt no conmection. I guess Simon really is the glue. Jason’s eagerness and competitive nature added an interesting dynamic, while Sally initially seemed daring and talkative she lacked depth beyond her reactions.

👣🏄‍♀️🌊 Flow

The book is written well, but it does take some time to get into it. For me, this feels like a book that would be better understood after reading it again.

🖤❤😘 Romance

There isn't much romance in the story, which might be why the character dynamics feel less emotionally charged.

🌃✨ Imagery

The description of the abandoned churches and the eerie, mysterious settings stood out. The imagery of toxic chemicals and time travel added to the suspenseful mood.

Overall Impression

This book is mysterious and intriguing, especially with the time travel element. However, it lacks emotional depth and character connection. It’s a story you’ll want to read twice to fully grasp.


Thanks again🌟

The premise of this book is good. It was slow to get going though, which isn't necessarily a negative thing, I just often don't prefer that in novels.

Ultimately I couldn't get into it. It felt too slow.

I do want to know what happened to Simon and how he ended up in the state he did. Despite the fact that the book is only just over 100 pages, I couldn't keep going with it.

I'm sure I would've enjoyed it once I got further in, but I struggled to continue with it.

Thank you to NetGalley for sending me an ARC copy of this book.
