A fun YA sci-fi mystery! A murder occurs early in the book, and the protagonist has to go back in time to solve the mystery. A very quick and fun read with lovable characters. Will read book 2!

Review: I am not sure that I am the person to evaluate whether this is good YA reading material. I suppose I got lazy requesting ARCs and failed to notice the very YA/Bisexual story line.

It is an intersting premise under a SciFi umbrella that has been beat to death. This trends more into the social interactions of a YA's side of things rather than Time Travel. If this becomes a series it might serve to fully expunge the myopic nature of the characters and grab some movement within grand points in history.

I received this ARC for an honest review.
