You can feel the fingerprints of Hollywood all over this one from the very first chapter (I’m assuming a film adaptation although it feels more suited to TV.) It's undeniably pacy, engaging and pointedly modern, and yet for all the questions it poses and all the timely themes it evokes, it feels frustratingly shallow to the point of glossy. Burke takes some big narrative swings as she finally reveals her hand unfortunately Yesteryear misses more than it hits.
