Welcome to Litsy!

Have you ever read a book and gotten so engrossed in the story you forgot a huge detail that was mentioned in the summary? I was so interested in Genna's story in the modern Brooklyn that I totally forgot about the time travel plot until Part II blindsided me. Elliott does a great job writing complex and engaging characters in both modern and historical settings. Now, I just need to get my hands on the sequel. #2017Book19 #diversebooks #ownvoices

The premise of this book is great. The plot, however, is all over the place, jumping into flashbacks randomly and making the story difficult to follow. The main character is far too arrogant and I find it unbelievable that he has any friends because all he does is tell them how stupid they are and lecture them about not being aware of what's happening in the world, even though all of his news comes from videos on Facebook.
