Woweeeee I loved this book so much more than I thought I would! I didn’t know much about it going into it so my feelings could have gone either way. This book contains: great characters, a stellar mystery, great setting, complex plot and a comfortable execution of time travel. This book felt like watching a movie (perhaps because I listened to it) but it was so gripping and I was hanging on every word. We get to the meat of the story very quickly, the context is established straight away so you are fumbling around for it to make sense and there are clues all throughout (that are subtle and sneaky) so when you get to the end the reveal didn’t come out of no where. What an absolutely stellar book and I can’t wait to read more of Marisha Pessl’s books in the future!
