I was happy to see that this author came out with another book after enjoying one of his middle grade books! I don’t read many sci-fi books but was drawn into the blurb for this one.

The book is told from one point-of-view but two different timelines. Although, there is a lot to be said about the one-point-of-view but going to keep this spoiler free! It was very interesting to get to know Jessica through the before and the after. The after coming because of some wild events. I was very intrigued by her story and the bravery she had to deal with the consequences of actions taken by her own mother and even herself. The story has a lot to do with teleportation and what happens to their bodies when they process is initiated. I really wasn’t expecting to work that way, but it made for a wild ride.

She does find herself in a bit of a relationship but it is so minor that I feel like it could have been left out. I didn’t really feel the spark between them and maybe it’s because of the whole time jump or them just being in the circumstance that they were in.

I do wish that there had also been more about the planet and what inhabited it. We only get glimpse and pieces and I just don’t think it did justice. Some of the things are a big part of the story and it just didn’t make sense how it all went about.

Overall, this was a good read. I was hooked when it came to the dual timeline and thought Jessica was an interesting character.
