This book was long. Lots of books are, but I kept doing a page count on how much I had left. Don't get me wrong, the story was good, but I really disliked Maddie through most of the book. It's established early on that there are time-shenanigans; it comes up multiple times, but it becomes a big, pointless issue when she really gets drawn into it. I'm pretty sure it's meant to be character growth, but it comes across as not thinking things through and getting mad at other people about it.

My copy of the book included photos from the tv series based on the book, which I'm looking forward to checking out.
