The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
2.0
Super boring characters, weird racial dynamics, and obviously the age gap relationship are the big issues with this book. But the way violence was handled in the story was so strange. In the first part the main character experiences a pretty extreme SA and then she just has her bf duct tape him naked to a tree and then that’s the end? No police or anything else and it’s never mentioned again, just a super odd thing to include and then handle super poorly.
And her bf has major anger issues and spends the first half of the book breaking people ribs and smashing their heads in but it’s ok! Because they were probably homophobic or racist (so the author thinks being a racist is worthy of being beaten to death, not arguing, but then the main characters white family has six black servants? Who are all just totally in love with the white family and have no bad feelings about that dynamic at all and who all are written with the same stereotypical ‘uneducated’ accent)
Anyways one star for the interesting premise and one star for the ending.
