Two rival agents communicate secretly through time. What starts as jabs and sarcasm turns into something more.
Sapphic time travelers that are enemies to lovers?! I was like hell yeah! And then I started reading and was more like oh.. this is beautiful. And then I kept reading and was like... oh hell, I am very confused.
That basically summarizes my reading experience. It's a beautiful book and the writing is outstanding. That being said, I just kind of was like "What...?" every few minutes. I did manage to follow along semi-okay but I'm still pretty confused. I think this is perfect for the romantics, for those who love flowery writing and vague stories with not much detail. It really is beautiful and you will love it. But for everyone else, it may not work for them. I am somewhat in between so therefore my rating is too.
