Ugh. This book was so promising and the premise of the story is really good. Armstrong just tends to ruin a good book by getting caught up in her overwrought soft porn and being too on the nose with trying to make a point. For example, the book starts out with an on the nose bit of dialogue where Armstrong seems to be trying to convince her readers she cares about gender inclusion. However, people who really care about gender inclusion and diversity, don't need to announce it when they walk into the room. The exchange was so fake I wanted to puke. I mean kudos to her for making an effort though, I guess. Many authors don't do that. The effort just doesn't seem genuine when it's forced and unnatural.
Next, I am all for a storybook romance, but I am a grown ass woman and I can't love a relationship that doesn't have any realness to it. I've read some of Armstrong's other books and she doesn't seem to be able to write about relationships in a way that brings any genuine substance to them. They are just all amazing sex and literally female characters talking about their knees falling out from under them because the man is so amazing. Really??!! I mean if this book was for young teens, then, okay. But then there would be way too much sex for that audience.
Meanwhile, there was so much other stuff going on in this book that I DID care about, but not enough focus was put on that.
I'm disappointed because I love time travel and really wanted to get into this new series.
