Agreed on 16, which is why I wasn’t sure it would work at all, but I feel as if she handled it well. Not too much focus on high school. And yes, the time travel got confusing, but I appreciated how it all tied into the theme.

It caught me off-guard. I thought Straub was veering into old territory of changing the future, but she chose something so much more tender.

I hope you continue to enjoy it!

I’ve heard of that book and have it on my TBR, but think I’ll remove it. I don’t do well with nonfiction that’s too dry.

I wasn’t sure at first and thought the time travel was going to be gimmicky, but it went past that in the best way.

I liked it almost as much as All Adults Here. I feel as if she keeps growing as an author which is nice to see.

I tried and tried to like our July book club book, The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu, but it was a litany of facts in a narrative form that bored my bad-ass off, even though the author, Joshua Hammer, is a writer for Smithsonian. I expected a thriller, and perhaps the later pages are thrilling, but I decided not to waste my time reading any more of it. The book club presenter for this book is a university professor, however, and she might have a different opinion. My great-aunt was a bad-ass librarian herself, so I came to the book with high hopes.
