Status Updates From The Future of Another Timeline

yo this shit SLAPS

Wow wow woah wow!

I'm enjoying the voice of the teenaged narrator far more than her older self.

Pedestrian writing but entertaining sci-fi/alt history.

The opening is graphically violent, to the point that I almost stopped reading to mark it DNF and move on. But the method of time travel intrigued me, and that kept my interest long enough to see how fiercely feminist this book is!

Not really feeling this ugh :/

I like it :)

Might be the most feminist book I read this year.

Getting darker and more awesome!

I really can not imagine how this book could be any more perfect 😍

It’s growing on me

The neologisms in this thing are killing me. No teenager in 1992 would use terms like “intersectional” or “cisgender”.

This novel’s ideology: In order to secure the rights of women, we need the support of rich and powerful men. And we can gain the support of rich and powerful men... by putting on a single fancy burlesque show? I mean, that sure gives me a lot to think about, but I’m not buying it.

Getting a little better now the pace has picked up. Still not impressed with the time travel stuff though. I feel that with this kind of story you really need to establish the status quo of the world before you start with all the timeline altering shenanigans, and it didn’t do that.

The alternate history could’ve done with more clarity from the outset. As it stands, it all feels a bit vague and directionless.

Never given up on a book in my life, but 70 pages in and it’s definitely touch and go.

I appreciate any book about using time travel to make changes to the timeline where the narrator is from a timeline that is already different from our own (and you figure this out from clues without anyone having to spell it out for you).

This is dark. And upsetting. And violent in multiple ways.

"It's like how you can't go back in time and kill Hitler or whatever, because he's replaced by Bitler or Zitler." The time travel in this book is fascinating and unusual -- how it works physically, what the constraints are, how much or little it's understood at different times.

"I like her ideas about free love, but violence is always the wrong way forward."

Oh. It's one of *those* books.

34 pages read in 32 min, via @leioapp (http://leio.co).

A lot that's intriguing in the different storylines that are developing.

So far this book has time travel, feminism, punk rock, and murder -- much intrigue!

This. Is. Wild.

Time travel is wacky. This book is unputdownable.

I'm setting aside this book for now. I feel frustrated. This book has so much that I should love and my only conclusion is that I'm just not in the right head space to review it right now.

Very political, and I am very ok with that. Queer and feminist, and all the bad guys are cis men which I find hilarious

This book has such an interesting, even terrifying, premise but gets so bogged down at times. I only related to Beth and she’s only half this book.

I could still hear his voice on my mind as he dispensed this wisdom. “There’s one simple rule: Wait. Until. You. Are. Married.” He punctuated each word by smacking a fist into his open hand. “That’s why sex education is so simple. Because there’s only one rule. See how easy that is?“

So far I'm digging the 1992 story, the 2022 is a lot more to get used to. It's depressing yet scary b/c it deals with subjects that I wish not to see happen...women's right trying to be taken away

Sooooooo good so far
