My rating is rounded up from 3.5 stars. This is the oddest and most surreal book I have read in a long time. I can go along with some pretty wacky directions, but I think what through me with this book is I wasn’t expecting this level of surrealism from the publisher description. Despite the level of abstractness in this story I adjusted to the unique voice and style pretty well. Truda is a teenager living in a world where time has just stopped. It’s not like everyone is frozen, people give birth, they live, they die, but every clock and timer in the world has completely stopped working. Of course someone invented an app that can track what time would be if it had not been frozen. Truda and her classmates have been tasked with a school assignment to figure out how to fix the lack of time passing issue. Truda lives in a very odd house where there are boxes and boxes and most of them protect a switch that no one knows what it does. I did like Truda’s character even if she comes across as a little flat at times, it felt like a part of her character and I enjoyed it.
