The world as we know it is crumbling to pieces, one small destruction at a time. With an encrypted message and the use of futuristic technology, it is up to Isabel to attempt to save not only her relationship with Diego, but the millions of people residing in her universe.
Wow! Not sure if I can express how much I absolutely loved this read with just a matter of written words. But, here goes nothing! Ms. Dorton’s Dystopian world is created in this book; it’s not just stated and one is reflecting on how the messed-up world came to be. She takes it a few steps back, and leads the reader into why the world will become the way it will. This is such a refreshing take on this genre, where usually the reader is already thrown into the apocalyptic world instead living through it with the characters that I very much enjoyed.
What I also loved about this story is the balance between the Sci-Fi and realistic parts. There was definitely some out-of-this world capabilities (time traveling, different universes), but there was also this basic urge to survive and not lose oneself when everything seems to be lost. I really appreciate the author doing this in her book.
Lastly, I absolutely love the relationship between Diego and Isabel. Sometimes, I admit, when there are several love-making scenes in a book, I become a bit frustrated and just want the story to continue. However, between the care that I have developed between these two characters (who by the way, are adults, not teenagers like many novels I read in this genre) and the way the author develops their relationship, I actually come to relate to their love for each other. In other words, I was very happy for them when they were making love or about to because it was out of love, not just the desperate desire to pleasure oneself. It was more pure than that.
Overall, I loved this book and cannot wait to dive into the second one! I would highly recommend this 5-star rated read to those who enjoy romance with some time traveling!
