Pretty good. I can see why people like it so much. I struggle with time travel books because I can't get over the mechanics and implications, and it pulls me out of the story. I was afraid that it would be like The Last Five Years, and it wasn't, so, that was a pleasant surprise.

The essays were hit or miss for me, but the ones that hit were really good. That's how I found Leslie Jamison. I gave myself grace to skip anything I wasn't into, just like I would have if I were reading in print.

VERY fun and witchy: perfect for spooky season. Recommended for fans of We Ride Upon Sticks, but it's much darker, and the witchcraft is not tongue-in-cheek.

DELIGHTFUL, especially listening to Elaine Stritch read it while I decorated the Christmas tree. Will definitely add this to my Christmas traditions!
