2.75⭐️ - Twisted timelines and motives come together to create a fascinating concept, but a muddle of perspectives. I really wanted to love this book, but on the whole found it underwhelming.
At the core, it's a whodunit, a mystery of somebody shot dead in a room that is locked from the inside. Odette, a young graduate researcher finds the body and it leads her on a determined path to find out the who and the why of it all. It's also a story of mental health and the way it can be weaponised to keep people out of roles, as Ruby finds out as she begins to explore the history of her grandmother, Bee, who was one of the founding scientists who discovered time travel.
There's many threads, duplicities, and complex relationships here. With past and future selves, children older than their parents, etc. it can get confusing at times keeping track of which version of a character you're dealing with. This is by design and part of the nature of time travel, I guess. It's possible I wasn't in the right brain space for it, but it just left me a bit unfulfilled.
