I don’t get this relationship… He’s a quantum physicist who spends his every waking hour entranced by the wonders of the universe, yet our protagonist, a woman who has exhibited absolutely ZILCH of a personality or drive or even a basic hobby, is the person he keeps saying is so “interesting”? WHAT is so “interesting” about her!?? Either I don’t get it or this is really lazy character-building.

So, I don’t necessarily “dislike” all these scenes from the past about her online dating foibles, but I’m puzzled by how *much* space they’re taking in the book, when the much more interesting and relevant stuff is in the present. Maybe it matters? With this being (potentially) a time travel story and all… But at the moment it feels meandering and bogged down.

For instance, on their first date, when he asks her what she does, all she can think to say is “I’m just a local girl.” THAT’S IT??? You can’t think of one single defining quality about yourself other than… you’re in his proximity. 😆😆😆 And he goes on to say how so very interesting he finds her. WHAT.

Ok, with all that said, I’m actually enjoying the book a lot. Just a couple gripes 😛
