I would compare this books overall "feeling" to that of The Hunger Games but the delivery is more "The Book of Law" by Aleister Crowley...really awesome premise but the writer seemed to be super confusing in parts, on purpose? The plot is really cool but parts are a bit knotty like I said. Putting that aside this is a pretty good book and I wouldn't mind having it in my collection.
It's about how all of watches have stopped, the concept of time has vanished, there isn't an officially recognized day of the week, year, month, or time of day anymore. This obviously disorients the world who's lives have always been lived on a timeline, of sorts. Our protagonist Truda (a.k.a Tru) and all the other students have been tasked with finding a solution. Tru is full of odd analogies that seem to only make sense to her, making it hard to follow at times. She never explains even when shes admittedly aware of it's obscurity.
The writing style altogether is something I've never seen before and that obviously doesn't make it inherently "bad." It just took a little adjusting to fully appreciate. Which I grew to like and recognize how it's actually tied to the story if you pay attention. ;) The very best part of this book IMO is the different ties to psychology especially Tru's "solution" using emotions as "days of the week." The way her group took the task seriously and learned meaningful things not usually taught in school. It really makes you wonder if losing time might actually be a blessing. To be able to focus on things that really matter and no one would feel "behind" because technically we'd always be on time.
